"Ring of fire solar eclipse set for October 2 with views from South Pacific and South America"

forbes.com —

A "ring of fire" solar eclipse will occur on October 2, 2024, visible from parts of the South Pacific, South America, and the South Atlantic. This annular eclipse will last over seven minutes, with significant viewing opportunities on Easter Island. During the eclipse, about 87% of the sun will be covered by the moon, but it will not get dark. Viewers must use solar eclipse glasses for safety. The event will be livestreamed, with the best views expected around 19:03 UTC over Easter Island. Only Chile and Argentina will experience the "ring of fire." The maximum duration of annularity will be about six minutes from these locations. Venus may also be visible during the event, appearing near the sun.
