October’s eclipse will be known as an annular solar eclipse because of the moon’s position during the event.
According to NASA, the moon will pass between the Earth and the sun while it is near its farthest point from the Earth. That makes the moon appear smaller than the sun from the ground, so it will not completely block the sun during the maximum phase, when the moon covers the sun at its highest percentage.
The next total solar eclipse, when the moon fully covers the sun during the maximum phase, will occur in 2024.. The moon will appear to have a ring of fire around it for those in the path.Parts of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, California and Oregon will be in the direct path of the annular eclipse, according to theEven though the sun will be partly blocked by the moon, it will still be dangerous to look directly at it.
