The Ring of Fire at the Beginning of the Total Solar Eclipse: Resolving the Sun’s Evil Anomalous Effect with a Radiating Lunar Satellite
The “ring of fire” effect happens when the moon, which appears smaller in the sky because it’s further away from us, passes directly in front of the sun.
The total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, when the moon will completely cover up the sun, with viewers in the path of totality.
Beginning at 8:06 am Pacific time, the partial eclipse will begin in southern Oregon and northern Nevada. The ring of fire will be most visible in those areas at about 9:20 am. Southern Utah and central New Mexico come next, with maximum annularity happening at about 10:30 am Mountain time. The ring should appear in southern Texas at 11:50 am Central time.
It is not safe to look at the sun or the eclipse through a camera or telescope. If you want a keepsake, you can take photos of the event, but ensure you have a solar filter If you damage your camera, it will be useless.
A rad moon’s on the rise. Early on October 14, our lunar satellite will briefly hover before the sun, obscuring the dawn and immersing millions of people in a strange morning gloom. The moon will not block the entire sun in a total eclipse, but it will make a partial eclipse. It will make a glowing orange outer ring.
People near the path—but not exactly beneath it—can still witness a partial ring of fire. Watchers in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, and Houston will see an 80 percent eclipse, meaning that the sun will be mostly covered. Of course, all viewings depend on pesky clouds staying out of the way. (See NASA’s and Sky & Telescope’s websites for more details about viewing times and locations.)
