Watch live with us as a “ring of fire” eclipse travels across the United States on Oct. 14, 2023, from Oregon to Texas. <br /><br />This event occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, but appears too small to completely cover the Sun’s surface – resulting in what appears as a ring of fire in the sky. It’s also known as an annular solar eclipse. Everyone in the contiguous 48 states will have the opportunity to see at least a partial eclipse. Join us for conversations with scientists and telescope views from across the country — and send us your questions in chat using #askNASA.<br /> <br />Warning: During an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing.<br /> <br />Review our eclipse safety guidelines: https://go.nasa.gov/EclipseSafety <br />Learn about the annular eclipse: https://go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2023 <br />Track the eclipse’s path: https://go.nasa.gov/EclipseExplorer <br /> <br />Credit: NASA
