Starting this thread to discuss about the upcoming Solar Eclipse and how you plan to view it safely. Read this article to know more about this upcoming Solar Eclipse and how we can see it. Are you looking forward to this Solar Eclipse?
An annular eclipse is not quite as interesting a spectacle as a total eclipse. The total eclipse in March 2024 crosses the eastern US, which I'm sure will be widely watched.
The Ring of Fire will be visible only in certain parts of California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, etc. on the 14th. The partial eclipse on the 28th will be visible mostly in Asia, Russia, Antartica and Oceania.
Have to find an internet site to watch them vicariously.
Edit:
The partial eclipse is dubbed "Bailey's Beads."
Wonder why?

The lunar surface is pock-marked with craters, so the edge is going to be irregular. This means that beads of sunlight can peek through during certain stages.

I'll be watching the March '24 eclipse from the deck of a cruise ship off the coast of Mexico. It should be able to get into a perfect position.
Reminds me of years ago, I worked on a flying observatory that could position itself anywhere in the world to observe unique events like occultations. Only it didn't have lounge chairs and I couldn't order a drink.

Francis Baily was an English astronomer.
Didn't cross my mind that "beads" are reflections of light off the moon craters.
All across Canada, we will see partial eclipse on the 14th October, no "ring of fire" effect.
So envious of those living in Oregon and diagonally across the US, Mexico and Latin America.

Looks promising in Eugene. Partly c!o hey at predawn.
I think, Autzen parking lot, Eugene solar science musehm, will be fine for watching. That's the plan.
YMMV

90% low cloud cover and dense enough to block sun- only the edges of clouds showing any brightness.
