With less than 90 days until the highly anticipated October 14, 2023 solar eclipse, Eclipse Glasses USA, a trusted provider of ISO certified solar eclipse glasses, is thrilled to reveal the top destinations for witnessing the mesmerising phenomenon of the October 2023 Annular Eclipse. As experts in solar events, we have carefully curated a list of exceptional locations worldwide that offer optimal conditions for experiencing this celestial spectacle.
Scheduled to take place on October 14, the October 2023 Annular Eclipse is set to captivate skywatchers with its awe-inspiring celestial dance. This will be the last annular eclipse visible in the western United States until 2045. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is at its farthest distance from Earth in its orbit, resulting in it appearing visually smaller than the Sun. The resulting shadow cast by the Moon is not long enough to reach Earth.
To assist enthusiasts in planning their eclipse adventure, we present the following highly recommended destinations:
- 9:09am MDT
Richfield, Utah: Blue Claim Hill: Ascend Blue Claim Hill for unobstructed views of the eclipse. Located just outside a certified Dark Skies Monument, Richfield offers ideal conditions for both day and night sky observation. It is a must-visit destination for eclipse enthusiasts, providing an astronomical haven to witness the annular eclipse while indulging in the magical wonders of the celestial panorama.
- 9:13am MDT
Albuquerque, New Mexico: Petroglyph National Monument: This breathtaking location combines natural beauty with optimal viewing conditions. The National Monument offers expansive vistas where no trees will obstruct your view of the eclipse. If you are unable to visit Petroglyph, head south of Albuquerque to Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary with dark skies. With its picturesque landscapes and clear skies, Albuquerque guarantees an unforgettable spectacle against the backdrop of stunning scenery.
- 10:23am CDT
