00:00On October 2nd, 2026, the skies will feature a stunning annular solar eclipse, also known as a ring of fire
00:08eclipse.
00:09This happens when the moon passes directly in front of the sun, but it's a bit too far from Earth
00:14to completely block it out.
00:16This leaves a brilliant, fiery ring of sunlight visible around the moon's dark silhouette.
00:21It's an incredible sight.
00:23The best places to witness this phenomenon will be in a narrow path across South America,
00:28primarily through parts of Chile and Argentina.
00:32Easter Island will also get a breathtaking view for the rest of us.
00:36Many observatories and space agencies will be live-streaming the event online, so you won't miss out.
00:42Remember, never look directly at the sun without proper protection.
00:47You'll need certified solar eclipse glasses or a solar viewer.
00:52Regular sunglasses just aren't.
00:54Safe.
00:55Mark your calendars for this amazing show.
00:57Thanks for watching, and don't forget to follow for more space news.
