"October's Annular Solar Eclipse: Travel Speed and Safety of Solar Eclipse Glasses"

An annular solar eclipse, also known as the "Ring of Fire," will be visible in parts of Colorado on October 14th. This rare celestial event occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but is at or near its farthest point from Earth, resulting in a dark disk on top of the larger, bright disk. While the full eclipse will be visible in the Four Corners area, the Denver metro area will experience a partial solar eclipse with about 84% totality. It is important to wear proper eye protection when viewing the eclipse.
