It's a perfect time to plan for viewing one of 2023's biggest astronomical events!
| As we say goodbye to 2022, the Explore Scientific team would like to wish everyone a fulfilling 2023 packed with exploration, new adventures and amazing discoveries! | | | | October 14: Annular Solar Eclipse | | Plan now for this spectacular astronomical event | | One of the most stunning astronomical events — an annular solar eclipse — will unfold over portions of the Americas on October 14th, 2023.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Sun and the New Moon are perfectly aligned, but the Moon is at apogee, which means it is at its farthest point from Earth. This positioning leaves the Moon unable to cover the Sun completely, which results in a bright blazing ring (annulus) around the black disk of the Moon during the total eclipse phase.
This annular eclipse will hit land starting in the USA and move along a band over parts of Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, then continue over Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and Brazil before heading out to the Atlantic Ocean. | | | | Sun Catcher Solar Eclipse Glasses (4 pack) | | | FirstLight 80mm Telescope & GoTo Mount with Solar Filter | | | | | When it comes to viewing any solar eclipse, proper eye protection should always be your main concern. NEVER point a telescope or binoculars at or near the Sun because this action could result in immediate and permanent blindness. To safely enjoy this event, you can use solar eclipse glasses, outfit your optical device with approved solar filters or make your own pinhole projector. | | | | This email was sent to kunang2langit.astronomy@blogger.com because you've subscribed on our site or made a purchase.
