This Saturday, October 14, a solar eclipse will be seen across the Americas. From inside a 125 miles wide path stretching across the U.S. Southwest and on to Central and South America, a “ring of fire” will be glimpsed for a few minutes as a smaller-looking new moon covers only the middle 90% of the sun.
In the U.S. the “lucky” states comprise Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. From everywhere outside of that path—including in those states, but also across the rest of the country—a partial solar eclipse will be seen. For those in the northeastern U.S. the eclipse will be slight, while those in western states will see much more of the sun disappear behind the sun.Precisely what will occur, and when, will depend on your exact location. You can find out the exact time for any location using the “eclipse lookup” option. It will show you exactly when the eclipse will start and finish as well as how much of the sun will be blocked at the peak of the event.
