Find out the date, time and countries where the annular fiery eclipse will be visible. Here we provide you with all the information.
October is approaching and with it the expectation grows around an astronomical phenomenon that has many anxious: the annular solar eclipse, also known as the ring of fire eclipse, scheduled for October 2, 2024.
This impressive event will be visible from various regions of South America, as well as from the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica.
However, it is important to note that most of this spectacle will take place over ocean waters.
During an annular solar eclipse, the Moon partially covers the Sun, leaving a glowing ‘ring of fire’ visible on its periphery. This phenomenon occurs when the Moon is at the farthest part of its orbit around the Earth, which prevents it from completely covering the Sun.
The total duration of the eclipse will be 223 minutes, providing observers with an extraordinary visual spectacle that promises to capture the attention of astronomy enthusiasts and the curious alike.
In which countries will the Ring of Fire eclipse be visible?
The path of the 2024 annular solar eclipse will begin southwest of the Hawaiian Islands and end north of the Falkland Islands.
Most countries will only see a partial view of the event; countries such as Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil and Mexico will witness a partial eclipse. In the case of Mexico, it will be visible at 12:45 p.m. from the southwest.
Will the Ring of Fire eclipse be visible in Honduras?
For those wondering if they will be able to enjoy this phenomenon from Honduras, the answer is uncertain. At best, Hondurans will only be able to witness a partial eclipse.
During this event, the Moon will cover approximately 90% of the Sun, thus offering a partial view to those who pay attention to the celestial spectacle.
For those wishing to witness this fascinating event, it is essential to choose designated areas to ensure the best possible visibility.
Additionally, it is advisable to use special eclipse glasses to protect your eyesight and safely enjoy the phenomenon.
