An annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse will be visible across the Western Hemisphere on Oct. 14, and Americans across several Western states will be able to see it.

It’s called a “ring of fire” eclipse because only the outer ring of the sun will be visible during the height of the spectacle.

NASA projects the eclipse will be visible across North America, Central America and South America, including parts of the U.S. and Mexico.
