Today (October 2), an annular solar eclipse will begin its journey across the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile, and southern Argentina.
If you can’t see the eclipse in person, you can watch the annular eclipse online at Space.com, courtesy of TimeandDate, and follow all the action on our Live Solar Eclipse Updates page. The annular phase of the eclipse will first be visible from Earth at 12:50 ET (16:50 GMT); however, the best time to watch live will be between 3:03pm – 3:09pm EST (1903 – 1909 GMT), when the ring of fire will be visible from Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) for 6 minutes and 11 seconds. .
During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, creating the shadow of our planet. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is somewhat elliptical: Sometimes it is farther from the Earth, sometimes closer. During an annular or “ring of fire” eclipse, the Moon is relatively far from Earth and does not completely cover the solar disk as we see during a total solar eclipse. Instead, it leaves a clear ring of light in the sky, a “ring of fire.”
Only 175,000 people live in the ring path of today’s eclipse, a route 165 to 206 miles (265 to 331 kilometers) wide, according to TimeandDate. Those lucky enough to find themselves in this group will experience a “ring of fire”; Those outside of it but still close enough will see a partial solar eclipse where the Moon appears to be taking a bite out of the Sun.
Here are some important places where you can watch the annular solar eclipse.
Here is a list of major cities or other famous places that will experience a partial solar eclipse today, along with the percentage of the sun covered.
REMEMBER NEVER look directly at the sun without protection. You will need to use solar filters to safely view this eclipse; Whether you’ll see a “ring of fire” or a partial solar eclipse, the danger is the same. Observers should wear eclipse glasses, and cameras, telescopes and binoculars should always have solar filters in front of their lenses. Our How to Watch the Sun Safely guide will tell you everything you need to know to watch the sun safely.
