Again, North Americans outside the path will be treated to a partial solar eclipse if the weather cooperates. Saturday, October 14, 2023: Mark Your Calendar!Ī total solar eclipse crossed the continental United States from coast to coast on August 21, 2017. Some 20 million people saw the Moon completely cover the Sun within a narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina, and hundreds of millions more across all of North America and northern South America saw a partial solar eclipse that day. On October 14, 2023, the Moon will again pass directly between Earth and the Sun - but this time it will not quite completely cover the solar disk, instead turning it into a thin "ring of fire." This annular (Latin for ring-shaped) eclipse will be visible within a roughly 125-mile-wide path from Oregon to Texas and on into Mexico, Central America, and South America. Yellow curves indicate how much of the Sun is covered by the Moon outside the path of annularity. It will be partial to the northeast and southwest. The solar eclipse of October 14, 2023, will be annular (ring-shaped) in a narrow path from Oregon to Texas to Central America and northern South America.
