Description
On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse came to North America. In Klamath Falls, Oregon we found some clear sky to see the event.
Roughly 11 years after the same type of solar eclipse crossed the U.S. Southwest on May 20, 2012, this one was visible from a similar region, crossing eight U.S. states from Oregon to Texas.
This eclipse didn't darken skies the way the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017 did. A solar eclipse occurs when a new moon is positioned precisely between Earth and the sun and casts its shadow on Earth.
During an annular solar eclipse which this was, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun, so it can't block the entire disk. The result is a beautiful "ring of fire."
