by On Oct. 14, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in the skies above North, Central and South America, and parts of the Americas will see an annular solar eclipse.
This "ring of fire" eclipse will not completely blot out the sun like the total solar eclipse in 2017.
However, the moon will block up to 90% of the sun's disk, depending on the viewer's location.
Even though the upcoming eclipse won't be total, it should still be spectacular — and it may still have a few freaky effects.
An eclipse "is the most unnatural natural phenomenon you'll ever experience," Tyler Nordgren, an astronomer, artist and author who frequently works with the National Park Service, told Live Science in an interview.
