How long will the annular solar eclipse on Oct. 2 last?


On Oct. 2, an annular — or “ring of fire” — solar eclipse will be visible from parts of the southern Pacific Ocean, Easter Island, southern Chile and Argentina, and the southern Atlantic Ocean. Central and southern South America, as well as Antarctica, will see at least partial phases. 

How long the event’s annular portion lasts depends on where you are both along and within the path of annularity. Below, we highlight key times and durations. If you’re unable to view the eclipse in person you can keep up with all the solar eclipse action with our solar eclipse live blog and watch the eclipse live courtesy of TimeandDate.
