"Get Ready for the Spectacular 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse Over the U.S."

On Saturday, a stunning "ring of fire" solar eclipse will be visible in parts of the western United States, Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Brazil. Only a narrow swath from Oregon to Texas will witness the full ring of fire, while the rest of the Lower 48 states will experience a partial eclipse. An annular eclipse occurs when the moon is not large enough to fully cover the sun, leaving a hollowed-out sun surrounded by a narrow circlet of sunlight. Protective eclipse glasses are necessary to view the eclipse and avoid eye damage.
