A "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse Will Be Visible in the US for the First Time Ever

Starting on October 13, the annular solar eclipse will make its way across eight states.
For the first time ever, this type of eclipse will be visible in North America. The eclipse begins on October 13 in Oregon and crosses through Northern California, Nevada, Utah, northeastern Arizona, southwestern Colorado, and New Mexico before it ends in Texas on October 14. From there, it will travel to Central America and South America, NASA reports.
To view the eclipse, stargazers must be in the 125 mile path of annularity. If you're not on the path (which stretches from Oregon to Texas) you'll only see a partial eclipse. The closer you are to the center of the path, the longer the ring of fire will last. During this year's annular solar eclipse, the moon will cover up 91 percent of the sun. Viewers of the ring of fire should wear eclipse glasses during the entirety of the event.

Humans are such narcissist. It's also unbelievable what passes for journalism these days.

Solar eclipses are overrated.

Let me guess, it is going to get dark for a few minutes and then everything will be back to normal.

This is that new climate change math that lets us ignore all natural events prior to just a few hundred years ago.

Where do I need to cut my additional tax contribution to make this stop?

First time ever…. Or you know like 11 years ago.

Roughly 11 years after the same type of solar eclipse crossed the U.S. Southwest on May 20, 2012, this one will be visible from a similar region, crossing eight U.S. states from Oregon to Texas, according to NASA. LINK
