On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, the Moon will pass between the Earth and Sun, giving people across the United States an opportunity to see an annular solar eclipse, also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse. Lance Bass has some safety tips to share so that you don’t say "Bye, Bye, Bye" to your vision.

WARNING: During an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing. Don’t be a space cowboy – learn how to safely view an eclipse: https://go.nasa.gov/EclipseEyeSafety

Not in the path of the eclipse? Watch with us from anywhere in the world. We will provide live broadcast coverage on Oct. 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. EDT (1530-1715 UTC) on NASA TV, NASA.gov, the NASA app, and right here on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/LlY79zjud-Q

This "ring of fire" eclipse will be visible along a narrow path stretching from Oregon to Texas in the U.S. Outside this path, people across the contiguous U.S. – as well as Puerto Rico and parts of Alaska and Hawaii – will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, when part of the Sun is covered by the Moon without creating the ring of fire effect.
