Don't miss the annular eclipse on October 14

On Saturday, October 14, one of the two solar eclipses of this year will occur, this will be visible almost throughout America, this in particular will be an annular solar eclipse, which is special because they are seen as a ring of fire in the sky; There are important things that you should know, you should not look directly at the sun without protection, it can cause very severe damage to your eyesight, you must use approved glasses, they are not expensive and you must also read the instructions for use of each one of them.

Second important and recommended question, the best thing is that if you are in any of the areas where the eclipse will be seen, it is to go to the concentrations called by astronomy fans, for three reasons: first, because they will surely know how to choose the best place to see; second, because they are very good people and I am convinced that they will advise you on how to see it and will tell you curious details that you may not know, and third, because these shows are always more exciting to see in company, it is a highlight, something extraordinary that can only be seen very few times in life.

Third important question, why an annular eclipse and not a total solar eclipse, this is due to the distance at which the moon is from the earth, because it is not always the same distance, when it is closer to us during perigee The lunar disk completely covers the solar disk and a total solar eclipse occurs, but in this case the moon will be closer to the apogee, which is the furthest point of its orbit from the Earth, so visually we will see it more. smaller than the solar disk, specifically 13 times less than normal, this means that it is not able to completely cover the disk of the Sun and that is why we see that ring of fire or ring of light.

And amazing phenomena such as the reduction of a kilo of weight that they say on some social networks will not occur, everything is false, they are hoaxes that have been circulating for a long time around eclipses, these phenomena were associated in ancient times with terrible events such as plagues , wars and natural disasters, but the reality is that they do not have an effect on our destiny, nor our personality, nor are they the announcement of a war or a catastrophe.

These are important things that I think you should know, but eclipses still have many secrets and mysteries to investigate, which is why NASA will take advantage of the event to launch sounding rockets during the eclipse in order to study the changes that occur in the atmosphere, in addition Activities have been organized with volunteers from across central and southern North America to participate in scientific research during this eclipse.

For those of you who live in other latitudes, it will only be partially visible and also during the last minutes of the day, so it will be very difficult for us to see anything, the best way to see it and enjoy the show will be to pay attention to the numerous broadcasts that They are going to be made from different places in America.
