Annular solar eclipse 2023: Precautions must you take as you watch the breathtaking ‘ring of fire’ spectacle

An annular solar eclipse will occur on October 14, 2023, visible in parts of North, Central, and South America. During an annular solar eclipse, the Moon doesn’t completely cover the Sun, creating a “ring of fire” effect. To watch the eclipse safely, NASA advises using specialized eye protection, such as eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector. It is important to inspect glasses before use and supervise children.
