by Scientists have taken the first radio telescope images of an annular solar eclipse's famous "ring of fire" effect — even though they were outside the eclipse's central path.
On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse was visible from inside a 125-mile-wide belt through nine U.S. states, including the northeastern tip of California.
Owens Valley Radio Observatory, in Big Pine, California, was not within that path, so it was only able to image an 80.5% partial solar eclipse, according to this Interactive Google Map from French eclipse cartographer Xavier Jubier. (Within the path of the eclipse, as much as 91% of the sun's light was blocked).
