A solar eclipse will be visible across the U.S. on Saturday. While most of the country will see a partial eclipse, viewers in Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas might be able to see a so-called 'Ring of Fire' annular eclipse, where the moon passes directly in front of the sun. The eclipse will begin in Oregon at 9:13am PDT, and end in Texas just after noon CDT. NASA reminds people not to stare directly at the sun - the safest way to view the eclipse is with a pair of 'eclipse glasses' or a pinhole projecter. The next major eclipse isn't far off - a total eclipse will take place in April of next year.
For people in Florida here's some info: The ring of fire will not be visible from Florida − unless you watch it virtually from a livestream. Florida will be able to see a partial solar eclipse Oct. 14, 2023, beginning at 10:38 a.m. CT/11:38 a.m. ET through 3:13 p.m. ET, according to timeanddate.com
Make sure you are wearing protective eyewear, and you can check out your local library because they may be giving away eclipse glasses.
