The rare celestial event only happens every few years, and this time, parts of Arizona will be able to see the full annular solar eclipse.

An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. The Moon is farther from Earth and appears smaller than the Sun, creating a ring in the sky.Oct. 14 solar eclipse: What you can expect to see in Phoenix
