"Pollen Woes: Buffalo and Niagara Falls Face Thinning Clouds During Eclipse"

The National Weather Service in Buffalo is closely monitoring the cloud cover as it slowly clears over Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with hopes that it will dissipate in time for Buffalo to witness the total eclipse. While there is a forecast of 84% cloud cover in Buffalo and Niagara Falls at 3 p.m., forecasters are keeping open the possibility for some unobstructed views of the celestial event, and veteran meteorologist Don Paul remains cautiously optimistic about the viewing conditions.

"Future Solar Eclipses: All 'Rings of Fire' Explained"

An annular solar eclipse will occur on October 14th, visible to nearly one billion people across North and South America. Unlike a total eclipse, the moon will not completely cover the sun, creating a "ring of fire" effect. This is because the moon will be at its farthest point from Earth, making its apparent size too small to fully block the sun. Over time, the moon's distance from Earth is increasing, and there will come a time when total eclipses become impossible. However, this is estimated to occur billions of years in the future.
