Less than a week until the annular solar eclipse
On Saturday, Oct. 14, the annular solar eclipse will be visible from the Northwest to Texas.
An annular eclipse is not a total eclipse, as the Moon doesn’t entirely block the Sun’s light – only 90%. An annular eclipse happens when the Moon is at the farthest point in its orbit of Earth. During the maximum eclipse, known as annularity, the light from the Sun peaks out around the Moon, creating a "ring of fire."
The path of the annular eclipse will cover the Southwest and Pacific Northwest.
