On Saturday, October 14, on a significant territory of the Western hemisphere of the Earth, eyewitnesses will be able to observe a real ring -shaped solar eclipse, known as the “Fiery Ring”.
, unlike a complete solar eclipse, when the moon completely closes the sun, the ring -shaped eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, but does not close the sun completely, as a result of which a bright ring forms.
The path of the ring -shaped sun eclipse will begin in the Pacific Ocean, going ashore in Oregon. Then the path of the shadow will go southeast through Nevada, the area of four corners and Texas. Later, the shadow of the eclipse will cross the Gulf of the Gulf, Yukatan Peninsula, as well as parts of Central America. Finally, the eclipse will go to South America, where he will cross Colombia and Brazil. Thus, in 3 hours and 34 minutes, the antimol shadow of the moon will pass the path of 13,800 km long, which covers 0.57% of the surface of the Earth. Nasa will draw a live broadcast of this colorful event.
