On Saturday, October 14th, 2023, an annular solar eclipse, also known as a "Ring of Fire" eclipse, will be visible across the U.S. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, but doesn't completely cover it, leaving a ring of sunlight visible around the moon.

The Ring of Fire eclipse will be visible from a path that stretches from Oregon to Texas, so residents of these areas can enjoy the show in the sky. It will begin in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PT and end in Texas at 12:03 p.m. CST.

The maximum eclipse, when the moon covers the most of the sun, will occur at 10:59 a.m. MST in Nevada.

Outside of this path, a partial eclipse can be seen across the continental U.S.
