Check out what CNN reported:

A rare celestial spectacle appeared over the Americas Saturday — the likes of which won’t be seen again in this part of the world until 2046.

Millions were within the path of the annular solar eclipse as it created a “ring of fire” in the sky over North, Central and South America.

The eclipse began in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PT (12:13 p.m. ET). It is expected to end off the Atlantic coast of Brazil at 3:48 p.m. ET.

As it passed over city after city, the skies darkened as the moon moved in front of the sun, causing temperatures to drop.

Here’s what NBC San Diego reported:

San Diegans got the chance to experience a celestial phenomenon — at least in part — when an annular solar eclipse known as the “ring of fire” crossed the globe.

Tens of millions of skywatchers witnessed the annular eclipse — when the moon crosses in front of the sun at a distance that gives it a “ring” effect — on Oct. 14, 2023.

Here in San Diego, the sun was only about 70% obscured by the sun. It took nearly three hours for the moon to fully cross the path of the sun, with the eclipse reaching maximum coverage at about 9:26 a.m.
