On October 14, 2023, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will trace a narrow path of annularity across eight U.S. states. A detailed map of each state along the path of annularity can be found below. The yellow lines outline the limits of the path of annularity in each state. The green middle line represents the eclipse centerline, where the annular, or "ring of fire," phase lasts the longest in each state. The grey lines show the path of annularity entering and exiting each state. To experience the annular, or "ring of fire," phase of the eclipse in each state, you must be within the yellow lines. The closer you are to the green centerline, the longer the ring of fire will last. Areas outside the path of annularity will get a partial solar eclipse only.
Remember that since the Moon never entirely covers the Sun during an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse, you must use special eclipse safety glasses or viewers at all times. Unlike during a total solar eclipse, there is never a time when it's safe to look with unprotected eyes. The NationalEclipse.com Eclipse Store offers a wide variety of certified safe eclipse glasses and viewers.
For the map below, note that times and durations can vary widely even within the same city and some cities are located only partially within the path of annularity. All times and durations shown are only representative samples and should be used for general comparison purposes only. To determine the precise start time, end time, and duration of annularity for your exact location on eclipse day, use the interactive Google eclipse maps developed by Xavier Jubier.
