What is the "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse?
The eclipse on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, will be an annular solar eclipse. An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while it is at its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the star. Because the Sun is never completely covered, observers must wear proper eye protection at all times while watching an annular eclipse.
What you can see during an annular eclipse depends on the weather and the location from which you view it.
Weather. You need a clear view of the Sun and Moon to see the eclipse. However, even with cloud cover, the eerie daytime darkness associated with eclipses is still noticeable.
Location. To see all phases of an annular eclipse, you must view it from somewhere along the path of annularity: the locations on Earth from which the Moon will appear to pass across the center of the Sun.

Countdown begins to 2024 Total Solar Eclipse and Al's Hideaway is in path of Totality
Perhaps the best thing for North America about October's annular solar eclipse is that it's the best warm-up event possible for a much more potent solar eclipse in North America in 2024. On Monday, April 8, 2024, a totality as long as 4 minutes 28 seconds — the first since the 'Great American Eclipse' of 2017 and the longest observed on land since 2009 — will be visible from parts of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada as a moon shadow rips across the continent. It will be the last major total solar eclipse visible from North America until 2044 (aside from one in Alaska in 2033), so it's time to start planning for this one.
Totality waits for nobody.

To see all stages of a total solar eclipse, you must view it from somewhere along the path of totality which is Al's Hideaway: the locations on Earth from which the Moon's shadow completely covers the Sun. Observers viewing the eclipse from outside the path of totality may observe a partial eclipse, where the Moon covers most but not all of the Sun. Eclipse glasses are required for the entire duration of the eclipse when viewing from outside the path of totality.
