1 month until the annular solar eclipse 2024: Here's what you need to know

Series of phases of the annular solar eclipse in 2023. A composite that records the sequence around mid-eclipse of the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse of the Sun. At this eclipse the Moon was near apogee so its disk was not large enough to completely cover the Sun's photosphere and create a total eclipse.

There's just one month to go until the annular solar eclipse 2024 is visible over parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. 

At 11:42 a.m. EDT (1542 GMT) on Oct. 2, the moon will begin to turn the sun into a dazzling "ring of fire" during the annular solar eclipse 2024. Maximum eclipse will occur at 2:45 p.m. EDT (18:45 GMT).
