It will take less than an hour for the flaming halo to traverse the U.S.
Tens of millions in the Americas will have front-row seats for Saturday's rare “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun.
Here’s what you need to know about the ring of fire eclipse, where you can see it and how to protect your eyes:The eclipse will carve out a swath about 130 miles wide, starting in the North Pacific and entering the U.S. over Oregon around 8 a.m. PDT Saturday. It will culminate in the ring of fire a little over an hour later.
At the same time, a crescent-shaped partial eclipse will be visible in every U.S. state, although just barely in Hawaii, provided the skies are clear. Canada, Central America and most of South America, also will see a partial eclipse. The closer to the ring of fire path, the bigger the bite the moon will appear to take out of the sun.HOW TO PROTECT YOUR EYES DURING THE ECLIPSE
Cameras — including those on cellphones — binoculars, or telescopes need special solar filters mounted at the front end.One patch of Texas near San Antonio will be in the cross-hairs of Saturday’s eclipse and next April’s, with Kerrville near the center. It's one of the locations hosting NASA's livestream.
It will be 2039 before another ring of fire is visible in the U.S., and Alaska will be the only state then in the path of totality. And it will be 2046 before another ring of fire crosses into the U.S. Lower 48. That doesn't mean they won't be happening elsewhere: The southernmost tip of South America will get one next October, and Antarctica in 2026.NASA and others plan a slew of observations during both eclipses, with rockets and hundreds of balloons soaring.

What's called an annular solar eclipse will briefly dim the skies over sections of the western U.S. and Central and South America on Saturday. As the moon lines up precisely between Earth and the sun, it will blot out all but the sun's outer rim. A bright, blazing border will appear around the moon for as much as five minutes along a narrow path stretching from Oregon to Brazil. It’s a prel
