Solar Eclipse Live Stream – Watch the annular solar eclipse online on October 2nd

On October 2nd, the moon and sun will create a dazzling “ring of fire” in the sky. The annular solar eclipse will be a sight to behold.

However, many of us will be a long way from being on the Ring Road – a route that crosses the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. Instead, we need to focus on the next best thing: live streams! Below you will find some information on how you can watch the event virtually. You can also follow the events of the eclipse in our eclipse live blog. When it does, we’ll offer you glimpses of the eclipse as it appears online, as well as some on-the-ground reports from a lucky few who will be there in person.

During an annular solar eclipse the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun. Therefore, it does not block the entire solar disk, as would be the case in an all-out attack Solar eclipse. Instead, the moon’s shadow covers most of the disk, leaving the outer edge exposed and creating a beautiful “ring of fire.” On October 2nd, the Moon will cover about 93% of the Sun’s disk at the time of the largest solar eclipse.

“Our long-time partner Thomas Puzia is in the city of Puerto Río Tranquilo in Chile. “He is leading an expedition from the Institute of Astrophysics at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile,” Jones continued.

“Meanwhile, Marcelo Domingues, part of a group led by Brazil’s Observatório Nacional, arrived on Easter Island a few days ago. “We first worked with Marcelo and his colleagues on the annular solar eclipse across Brazil last year,” Jones explained.
