This eclipse is the second and final solar eclipse of 2023.  It is the second of a series of three eclipses (August 17, 2021, October 14, 2023, and April 8, 2024) that are collectively called the Great American Eclipses.   This eclipse will be an annular eclipse, which means that in the path of the maximum eclipse, a ring of the sun will be visible around the dark black disk of the moon.

This eclipse is visible over North and South America.  The path of annularity passes through the western United States, Central America, and northern South America including parts of Colombia and Brazil.
