When is the next solar eclipse?

The next solar eclipse will occur on October 14, 2023. It will be an annular solar eclipse, which means that the Moon will be near its farthest distance from Earth and will not cover the Sun completely, leaving a 'ring of fire' visible around the edges of the Moon. This event will be visible from parts of North America, South America, and Antarctica.

The duration of the eclipse will vary depending on location. In some areas, the entire eclipse will be visible, while in others, only a partial eclipse will be visible. It is important to note that looking directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage, so it is recommended to use special viewing equipment, such as solar glasses or filters, when observing the eclipse.
