Mark the date! Just one month until the next annular solar eclipse...
And don’t be astonished if people behave weirdly or natural disasters increase in intensity...
Mark your calendar. On Oct. 14th--one month from today--the Moon will pass in front of the sun, producing an annular solar eclipse visible from North and South America. In this map, the yellow band shows where the eclipse will be best:
This should not be confused with a total eclipse, where the Moon completely covers the sun. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is a little too small for complete coverage--a result of the Moon's elliptical orbit. When the Moon passes in front of the sun, an annulus remains visible, creating a "ring of fire" in the sky. It is still very cool. Indeed, you will literally feel cool as the diffuse shadow of the Moon passes overhead, dimming the landscape and lowering the air temperature by a few degrees.
The "path of annularity" is about 100 miles wide. Along its centerline, the sun will be ring-shaped for more than 4 minutes, with as much as 95% coverage of the solar disk.
Be careful! Even a 5% sliver of the sun can be blindingly bright. Watch the event using ISO-approved eclipse glasses.
Outside the path, observers will see the sun turn into a crescent, fat or thin depending on how far they are from the centerline. This is called a "partial eclipse," also best seen using eclipse glasses. Almost all of North and South America is in the partial eclipse zone.
There's a lot to experience during an eclipse. Listen for changes to birdsong and insect sounds. Wildlife is known to respond to the arrival of the Moon's shadow. Also, look under leafy trees. Crescent-shaped sunbeams lancing through the foliage can dapple the ground with tiny images of the eclipsed sun. Here’s an example from 2012:
Amateur astronomers with solar-filtered binoculars can watch brilliant beads of sunlight glittering through lunar mountains especially around the Moon's north and south poles.
In the meantime, don’t be astonished if people behave weirdly and if parts of this Earth experience another wave of cataclysmic disasters… Eclipses influence our energy and that of our planet.
Hope you will be able to plan a trip and enjoy this amazing event! Have a good day!

I got to see the eclipse of the sun here in Oregon in 2017. Wow!!! I was not prepared for what a phenomena this would be. The birds literally all stop chirping… There is this huge AWE…. that is inexpressible and undeniable, and you can feel the entire earth around you in this perfect hushed silence, as everyone witnesses this beautiful miracle. It went from people, drinking beer, cheering and kids running around being kids…
To this incredible beautiful moment in time, as if we were all holding our breath at once. And then… Everyone burst into applause at the same time. It literally makes you feel like crying.
It’s so wonderful. One of the best experiences of my life I wish I had the money to travel for the eclipse coming in 2025. I think I would need to go to Texas or somewhere in the south to see that one. It is so worth seeing.
I would book a place to stay for every eclipse coming in the future if I could… Ha ha ha that’s how cool it is. I really felt the presence of God in that moment and his awesomeness.
Back in the 1960's I was living in Central Mexico & was able to observe a Total Eclipse!! It was astounding!! I remember how weird the light was coming thru' the trees!! ;-)
