The annular solar eclipse will occur on Saturday, October 14, 2023. The exact time of the eclipse depends on the location. Here are the times for some locations in the United States:

• Seattle, Washington: Begins at 8:07 a.m. and ends at 10:39 a.m.
• Oregon: Begins shortly after 8 a.m.
• United States: Begins at 9:13 a.m. PT (12:13 p.m. ET) and ends at 12:03 p.m. CT (1:03 p.m. ET)

It is important to note that the eclipse will be visible as a partial eclipse in every U.S. state, but the "ring of fire" effect will only be visible along a narrow path between Oregon and Texas. The duration of the eclipse will also vary depending on the location, with some places experiencing the "ring of fire" for as little as 30 seconds and others for as long as 5 minutes.

If you plan to watch the eclipse, it is crucial to take safety measures for your eyes. Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection, such as certified ISO 12312-2 compliant solar eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer. Sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for watching the annular eclipse.
