2023 Eclipse Maps

On October 14, 2023, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will trace a narrow path of annularity across eight U.S. states. A detailed map of each state along the path of annularity can be found below. The yellow lines outline the limits of the path of annularity in each state. The green middle line represents the eclipse centerline, where the annular, or "ring of fire," phase lasts the longest in each state. The grey lines show the path of annularity entering and exiting each state. To experience the annular, or "ring of fire," phase of the eclipse in each state, you must be within the yellow lines. The closer you are to the green centerline, the longer the ring of fire will last. Areas outside the path of annularity will get a partial solar eclipse only.

Remember that since the Moon never entirely covers the Sun during an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse, you must use special eclipse safety glasses or viewers at all times. Unlike during a total solar eclipse, there is never a time when it's safe to look with unprotected eyes.

Here you'll find some of the best eclipse maps, globes, and calculators available, as judged by members of the AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force. To avoid overwhelming you with too much information, we've intentionally weighted our listings toward resources that are relatively new, up to date, and/or especially relevant to the October 14, 2023, and/or April 8, 2024, American solar eclipses. We've also considered quality, of course; if something is listed here, we think it's of high quality. If it's not listed here, that doesn't mean it's not of high quality — it just means we can't list everything (or we haven't heard of it). If you have, or know of, a resource that you think belongs here, please contact us; we can't guarantee that we'll add the item to our website, but we will consider it.

Where is the 2023 eclipse visible?

On Oct. 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will cross North, Central, and South America. Visible in parts of the United States, Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America, millions of people in the Western Hemisphere can experience this eclipse.

Is there any eclipse in 2023?

Solar Eclipse of April 20 2023 from India.

When can I see a total solar eclipse?

The next solar eclipse to occur anywhere in the world will be a total solar eclipse on April 20, 2023.

What is hybrid solar eclipse?

A Hybrid solar eclipse is a rare type of solar eclipse that changes its appearance as the Moon's shadow moves across the earth's surface. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
