Ring of Fire: A Rare Solar Eclipse on October 2nd
In a rare celestial event, the moon is set to pass between the Earth and the sun on October 2, producing an annular solar eclipse that will be visible from parts of the southern Pacific Ocean, Easter Island, southern Chile, Argentina, and the southern Atlantic Ocean. This phenomenon, known as the “ring of fire,” occurs when the moon’s apparent diameter is smaller than the sun’s, resulting in a ring-like appearance instead of the more common total solar eclipse.
