"Ring of Fire' eclipse...

[kadee79]

You will be super lucky if you are able to see this...some in the west will be able to see it.

Outer space has always piqued public interest, especially because of the beauty and mystery of the skies that lie above our world. Things like shooting stars, comets, and meteorites always give us something to marvel at, but solar eclipses offer a distinct level of excitement. A rare solar eclipse is expected to be visible in North America for the first time in 11 years. The last solar eclipse of its kind took place in May of 2012. The annual solar eclipse, also known as the “ring of fire,” is set to make its way across eight U.S. states beginning on October 13. The “ring of fire” is different from a total solar eclipse for a very distinct reason. According to NASA, this event occurs when “the moon passes between the sun and earth while it's at its farthest point from the planet.” The result is a spectacularly luminous circle with a flame-like rim. To witness a “ring of fire” is an experience unlike any other.

Thanks for the info.  I told my neighbor about it and he showed me an article which stated the annular eclipse would be Octboer 14.  The NASA article below also states the eclipse will be October 14. 

The Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, annular solar eclipse will cross North, Central, and South America. It will be visible in parts of the United States, Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America.

You can get specific info for your area in the link below. It is set for Memphis (me) but you can change the city and state in the link.

October 14, 2023 — Annular Solar Eclipse

I will likely see it. I do have plans that day - but they are outdoors and still squishy. I will keep the eclipse in mind as we lock those down. I just ordered the dumb paper glasses for everyone.

I ordered 12 of the paper glasses for myself and neighbors. We will have an early day cookout while waiting for our 60% view of it.

Apparently there are a bunch of fakes. The American Astronomical Society has a list of manufacturers, brands and resellers that are approved. You might want to check so you don’t blind your whole neighborhood 😂

Well, certainly no shady seller would ever lie in marketing.

That said, I checked the site for you and Tesyker is on there. 😉

DD2 sent me a beautiful picture of it. We were in the 90% area, so it was easily visible, with the proper eyewear.
