Eclipse by definition is the passage of an astronomical body through the shadow of another. The term is usually
used for solar and lunar eclipses, which may be either partial or total but may also refer to other bodies.
The last time a total solar eclipse crossed North America was on August 21, 2017.In the U.S., the eclipse captured
the attention of the nation, with droves of sky-watchers gathering in public spaces and taking road trips for a better
view of the spectacle. According to NASA, another solar eclipse will be visible from the U.S.A on Oct. 14, 2023. It
will be what's called an annular solar eclipse, when the moon is deep in its orbit and appears (from the perspective of
those of us on Earth) too small to fully cover up the sun, instead creating a "ring of fire" effect.
The annular eclipse will be visible in parts of the U.S., Mexico and other countries in Central and South America.
Viewers in parts of all 50 U.S. states will be able to catch a partial solar eclipse.
Safety is paramount for those preparing to watch the celestial show. Experts say that, aside from the brief time the
moon completely covers up the sun during a total solar eclipse, it's not safe to look directly at a total or partial eclipse
with the naked eye. NASA says using specialized eye protection or alternate methods, such as a pinhole projector or
your phone, is a must.
