TL;DR Summary

A rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse is set to occur on Saturday, where the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, creating an image resembling a fiery ring. The eclipse will be visible in a path between Oregon and Texas, with parts of Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska able to see a partial eclipse. In April, a total solar eclipse will be visible across 13 US states, from northern Mexico to eastern Canada. NASA advises wearing specialized solar filters for safety and highlights the scientific opportunities these events offer to study the sun and its interactions with the Earth.
