Get ready to witness a celestial double feature this October as both the sun and the moon take center stage in two remarkable eclipses.
While witnessing these cosmic events in person can be tricky, depending on your location, we have you covered with Amazon's exclusive range of NASA-approved solar eclipse viewing glasses.
Annular Solar Eclipse on October 14
On October 14, 2023, skygazers in the United States will be treated to an annular solar eclipse. In this rare phenomenon, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun, leaving a dazzling "ring of fire" around its edges.
Space.com tells us that this spectacular event will be visible in eight US Southwest states, including Oregon, Texas, and Arizona.
For those outside the path of annularity, a partial solar eclipse will still provide a stunning celestial display throughout the United States. The next total solar eclipse viewable in the USA will not take place until August 2044.
What to Expect: As the moon passes in front of the sun, it will create a mesmerizing silhouette, casting an ethereal glow across the landscape.
The Soluna Solar Eclipse Glasses, available exclusively on Amazon, will allow you to safely witness this celestial dance. These glasses are trusted by millions and are manufactured by American Paper Optics, a NASA-approved manufacturer.
Partial Lunar Eclipse on October 28
Later in the month, on October 28, 2023, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from a vast swath of the Eastern Hemisphere, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Antarctica, and Oceania.
During this eclipse, the moon will pass through Earth's shadow, causing it to appear dimmer than usual. The eclipse will start at 3:36 p.m. EDT (1936 GMT) and end at 4:53 p.m. EDT (2053 GMT).
Future Solar Eclipses
Mark your calendars for more celestial wonders in the coming years. Space.com tells us that on October 2, 2024, an annular eclipse will grace the skies over the Pacific Ocean and parts of South America, offering another opportunity to witness the captivating "ring of fire."
But that is not all-on April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse dubbed the "Great American Eclipse" will captivate viewers across the United States.
Observing this eclipse with the LUNT SOLAR SYSTEMS Eclipse Glasses, also available exclusively on Amazon, protects your eyes while enjoying the solar eclipse spectacle.
