The Ring of Fire...
There will be a solar eclipse tomorrow morning, Saturday, October, 14, 2023 that will run in an 'S' curve diagonally across the United States, through Central America and sweep out across Brazil.Starting around 8am in Oregon and goes to 10:30 in Texas. They are the lucky ones to see a full eclipse. With the exception of the the northeast, Pennsylvania to Maine are out of the path. More than half of America should see some of the eclipse.
It's called a ring of fire because some places will see a perfectly aligned eclipse where the sky will darken and only the outer edges of the sun will show through giving an illusion of the fiery ring.
Yahoo has a news story:
Time & Date actually have an interactive map showing the graduated areas of the most eclipse.
Always, there are warnings not to look directly at the sun, only former presidents can do that. Use a pinhole projector or specialized eclipse glasses. Always there will be reports of people losing their vision because they stared at the sun without proper protection.
Don't be a statistic.
