On Saturday, October 14th, beginning at 8:07am and lasting for about three hours, Great Basin National Park will have the good fortune of occupying prime astronomical real estate. An Annular Solar Eclipse is a rare event. The next one in the United States will not occur until 2041, making this quite possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Great Basin National Park will be in the path of annularity, meaning that for a few minutes the only visible part of the sun will be a ring of fire squeezing past the edges of the moon. It’s this brilliant ring which differentiates an Annular Solar Eclipse from a Total Solar Eclipse.
The timeline for the eclipse is as follows:
