The eclipse pathThe annular eclipse will begin at 12:50 p.m.
A global map shows the path of the annular solar eclipse on October 2.
If you don’t have certified eclipse glasses or use a handheld solar viewer to observe the annular eclipse, you can use a telescope, binoculars or camera that has a special solar filter on the front, which acts the same way eclipse glasses would.
The small space between will reflect the sun’s crescent during a partial eclipse or a ring during the annular eclipse.
