Ring of fire solar eclipse to illuminate parts of South America and the Pacific on October 2

apnews.com

A "ring of fire" solar eclipse will occur on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, visible from Easter Island and parts of Argentina and Chile. During this annular eclipse, the moon will block most of the sun, leaving a ring-shaped sliver visible. A partial solar eclipse will also be seen in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Hawaii. This event differs from the total solar eclipse in April, which was visible in parts of Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. To safely view the eclipse, special solar eclipse glasses are required. Regular sunglasses are not sufficient. Alternative viewing methods include using a pinhole projector or observing shadows under a tree.
