<p>The annular solar eclipse starts at one location and ends at another. It will begin in Oregon at 09:13 am PDT and end in Texas at 12:03 pm CDT.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Only the people in the western hemisphere would witness the eclipse.</p>

<p>The solar eclipse will be visible along a narrow path that crosses the United States from Oregon to Texas. It will also pass over Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, parts of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil. A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Alaska to Argentina.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, it will be the last solar eclipse to be visible from the US until 2039.</p>

<h2><strong>About annular solar eclipse 2023&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth while being at the farthest point from the Earth. It is never safe to look directly at the Sun during an annular solar eclipse without specialised eye protection designed for solar viewing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When viewing a solar eclipse, it is crucial to prioritise safety and use solar filters at all times. Regardless of whether your location will experience a partial or an annular solar eclipse, the risk remains the same. To ensure safe observation, use solar eclipse glasses. Don't forget to place solar filters before the lenses of cameras, telescopes and binoculars.</p>

<p>From beginning to end, the solar eclipse will last about two and a half hours. However, the annular solar eclipse will last only four to five minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Where to watch the annular solar eclipse 2023?</strong></h2>

<p>NASA will broadcast the annular solar eclipse 2023 live on its Facebook, X and YouTube social media accounts. It will also carry the live eclipse views, provided by Time and Date, without commentary beginning at 09:00 pm IST on its media channel.</p>

<p>A rare annular solar eclipse, also called the&nbsp;'ring of fire',&nbsp;is all set to take place on October 14. The sighting has been named so since it will appear like a&nbsp;fire ring&nbsp;as the moon partially covers the middle bit of the sun. The rare astronomical event&nbsp;can be seen from North and South America, but there might be also some chances of its visibility from other parts of the world.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;'ring of fire' solar eclipse will pass in front of the sun between 8:35 pm India time on October 14 and 2:25 on October 15, according to NASA. Apart from Americas, it will also be visible from Mexico and some Central American countries.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>'Ring of fire'<strong>&nbsp;Solar Eclipse</strong></h2>

<p>The annular eclipse appears when the moon passes in front of the sun, obscuring much of it, and leaves behind a brilliant ring called annulus or unfiltered sunlight. This phenomenon is known as an “annular” or “ring of fire” solar eclipse.</p>

<p>Like two Hula-Hoops, one inside the other and tipped, the path the sun appears to take around the sky once per year, and the moon’s monthly orbit intersect at two points, called nodes. We only get a solar eclipse when both the sun and moon are at a node at the same time; otherwise the moon “misses” the sun in the sky, passing it above or below.</p>

<p>The eclipse, with 125-mile-wide path of annularity, will begin in Oregon at 12: 13 pm EDT. It will then leave the US at about 1:03 pm EDT and head south-eastward towards Central and South America.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In Washington, the partial eclipse begins at noon on October 14, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 1:19 pm EDT. At this time, about 30 per cent of the sun’s disk will be obscured by the moon. The eclipse ends at 2:39 pm EDT.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the right kind of protective eyewear, the astronomical event can be seen clearly. The duration of its appearance will vary from little more than one minute to almost five, depending upon where you are located in its path.&nbsp;</p>
