Whether one is very "into" astronomy or just have a casual interest, October's partial solar eclipse will be one phenomenon worth seeing.
As it happens, the path of the eclipse will be right over my New Mexico residence. Where else can one go see it?
In New Mexico:
When: 10:30-10:46 a.m. MDT
Maximum duration of 'ring of fire': 4 mins and 46 secs
Key locations: Chaco Canyon, Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, Roswell
Climate: Highest chance of clear skies
Space.com has an article on this topic.
They begin with:
On October 14, 2023, the Americas will experience a partial solar eclipse, but from only eight U.S. states will it be possible to see the 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse.
Where to go for the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, is largely down to where the eclipse path is.
On that day the entire Americas will experience a partial solar eclipse, but the 'ring of fire' will only be visible from within a 125-mile (200-kilometer) wide path heading from the northwest U.S. through Central America to Brazil.
