Arab Weather - Skywatchers in parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile, and southern Argentina are awaiting a rare event on Wednesday, October 2, which is watching an annular solar eclipse. During this event, the moon will pass between the sun and the Earth, covering up to 93% of the sun's disk, forming a unique scene known as the "ring of fire," according to the astronomy website "Space.com."

 

 

Annular eclipse path

The path of an annular eclipse spans a narrow band about 165 to 206 miles (265 to 331 kilometers) wide. Although it will only cover a small portion of the Earth, viewers in those areas will be able to see the full eclipse. This type of eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth, leaving a bright ring of sunlight visible around the edges of the Moon, which is different from a total eclipse in which the Moon completely blocks the Sun.

Safety Tips for Viewing the Eclipse

It is essential to follow safety guidelines during this astronomical event. Experts stress the need not to look directly at the sun without proper protection, as this can cause eye damage. It is recommended to use special glasses to view the eclipse, and to make sure that there are solar filters on cameras, telescopes, or binoculars to ensure safe viewing of the event.
