(This is an archived page about the annular solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)
On October 14, 2023, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will occur in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe sits rather close to the eastern limit of the eclipse path, with durations of annularity a bit more modest than other locations closer to the eclipse centerline. But what Santa Fe lacks in duration of annularity it more than makes up for with its artistic vibe and Southwestern architecture, ensuring that New Mexico's capital city will be a popular eclipse viewing destination on October 14. In the downtown Santa Fe area, annularity will last for about 2 minutes and 48 seconds. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in Santa Fe for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
