Many of you may already be aware that some of us in North America will have an opportunity to view (with proper glasses!) two upcoming solar eclipses:
- An annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023. An annular eclipse results when the moon is farther from earth and doesn't completely cover the sun. This results in a "ring of fire" rather than the complete darkness of a total eclipse.
- Six months later, a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
I've included a map showing the path of the two eclipses and a map showing the area where both paths cross, enabling those living there to see the full effect of both eclipses. Since I do live in that area, I plan to watch both from home.
Hoping to be able to complete a bucket list item while sitting on my back deck. Is this a great country or what?
