What is a solar eclipse?
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is near its apogee, the farthest point in its orbit from the Earth. In this position, the Moon appears smaller in the sky than the Sun. As a result, when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, it does not completely cover the solar disk, leaving a bright “ring of fire” visible.
Where is the next total solar eclipse visible?
The total eclipse will be visible in a 160-kilometer-wide strip that begins in Mexico, crosses the United States from west to east, and ends in Canada.
In Mexico, the totality of the eclipse can be seen in the following states: Sinaloa, Durango, Nuevo León, and Coahuila.
In the United States, the path of the eclipse will pass through the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
In Canada, the total eclipse can be seen in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
