Today (Oct. 2), An annular sun oriented overshadowing will start its process across parts of the Pacific Sea, southern Chile and southern Argentina.

Assuming you can't see the overshadowing face to face, you can watch the annular sun oriented obscure web-based here at Space.com, kindness of Time and Date, and follow all the activity on our sun powered overshadow live updates page. The annular period of the obscuration will initially be noticeable from Earth at 12:50 p.m. EDT (1650 GMT); in any case, the best chance to observe live-streams will be from 3:03 to 3:09 p.m. EDT (1903 to 1909 GMT), while the ring of fire will be seen for as long as 6 minutes and 11 seconds from Easter Island (otherwise called Rapa Nui).

During a sun oriented overshadow, The moon passes between the sun and Earth, creating a shaded area upon our planet. The moon's circle around Earth is somewhat curved: Once in a while it's farther from Earth, and some of the time it's nearer. During an annular or "ring of fire" obscure, the moon is somewhat distant from Earth and doesn't completely cover the sun's plate like we see during an all out sun powered overshadow. All things being equal, it leaves a particular ring of light overhead — the "ring of fire."
