This year’s eclipse, an annular Solar Eclipse, occurs with the moon further from the earth (near apogee), meaning that the moon will appear smaller in the sky than the sun and create a ‘Ring of Fire’ effect. This is the first solar eclipse to impact the US since the 2017 total eclipse, and the first annular eclipse in the US since 2012.
The eclipse will begin in central Oregon, just south of Eugene, at 9:13am PDT, and end over Corpus Christi, TX at 12:03pm CDT. See map here
