Ring of fire eclipse visible in Argentina and Chile on October 2

theconversation.com

An annular eclipse, known as a "ring of fire," is occurring on October 2, 2024. It will be fully visible in Argentina and Chile, while a partial eclipse can be seen in parts of the Pacific, South America, and Antarctica. Eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking sunlight. This specific annular eclipse occurs because the Moon is farther from Earth, preventing it from completely covering the Sun. Unlike total eclipses, where the Sun is fully obscured, annular eclipses allow a ring of sunlight to be visible around the Moon. This phenomenon is due to the elliptical orbits of both the Earth and the Moon.
