Ring of Fire: World to witness this year’s last solar eclipse on Oct 14
The eclipse is due to be visible along a path covering parts of the United States, Mexico and several countries in Central America and South America.
The world will witness this year’s last solar eclipse on Oct 14!
However, the ‘Ring of Fire’ solar eclipse, will not be visible in Pakistan.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) in a statement said that the eclipse will be visible in southwestern Mexico, various countries in Central America, central Colombia, and northern Brazil.
The eclipse will begin on October 14 at 8:04 pm (PST) and it will reach its peak at 10:59 pm and will end on October 15 at 1:55 am.
The Oct. 14 annular solar eclipse will be visible from eight states in the U.S. Southwest.
This type of eclipse occurs when the moon is slightly farther away from Earth than usual, making it appear too small to block out the entire sun and instead leave a thin “ring of fire” visible.
The eclipse is due to be visible along a path covering parts of the United States, Mexico, and several countries in Central America and South America.
For those outside the path of annularity, a partial solar eclipse will also be visible throughout the entire United States.
Furthermore, later in the month, on Oct. 28, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from much of the Eastern Hemisphere, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Antarctica, and Oceania.
During the partial lunar eclipse, the moon will pass through Earth’s shadow, making it appear less bright than usual.
The partial lunar eclipse will begin at 3:36 p.m. EDT (1936 GMT) and end at 4:53 p.m. EDT (2053 GMT).
