From Oregon to Texas: NASA announces ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse across the US in October, check details
According to NASA: When the moon passes in front of the sun, people will witness a celestial spectacle in the sky known as the “Ring of Fire.” While this phenomenon won’t completely obscure the sun, it will cast a unique visual. Due to its relatively smaller size, the moon will create a concentric circle around the sun, creating the appearance of a fiery ring. This captivating event, termed as the “Ring of Fire” eclipse, is set to grace the skies of the United States on October 14, 2023.
As the moon aligns with the sun, a mesmerizing “Ring of Fire” will emerge in the sky, captivating the imagination of onlookers. Despite not completely blocking the sun, this eclipse promises a stunning display as the sun’s bright rays are transformed into a fiery halo. The eclipse’s path will stretch from Oregon in the north to Texas in the south, allowing people across this span to witness this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced its plans to provide live coverage of this solar eclipse. Through their official account on the social media platform “X” (formerly known as Twitter), NASA shared: “Save the date for the solar eclipse: On October 14, a ‘Ring of Fire’ or annular eclipse will pass through the U.S., from the Oregon coast to the Gulf of Mexico.”
