Solar Eclipse 2023: This year last Solar eclipse on October 14; Time and other details

Solar Eclipse 2023: The world will witness two astronomical wonders this month. First there will be an annual solar eclipse called `Ring of Fire’ followed by a lunar eclipse within a few days. However, people still believe the eclipse to be somewhat of an astronomical wonder at present. Now the sky will witness another such wonder.

The last solar eclipse of the year will happen this Saturday, October 14. It is commonly known as the ‘Ring of Fire’, an annual solar eclipse. On this day, the Sun will create a ring of fire around the Moon. The eclipse will occur with the Moon moving between the Sun and the Earth. The sun is partially obscured and a dazzling ring is visible. For this reason this eclipse is called ‘Ring of Fire’.

This solar eclipse occurring on October 14 will not be visible in India. However, people in the Western Hemisphere can experience this phenomenon, scientists said. This eclipse can be seen in America. It is visible on a narrow path that crosses the USA from Oregon to Texas.
