The rare annular solar eclipse, visible across the Western Hemisphere on Saturday, will be fully visible only in certain locations, including parts of the western US. As the 'ring of fire' eclipse is set to darken the day noticeably, traffic authorities are urging motorists to stay focused on the road. The event, which has significant meanings for Indigenous communities, is also expected to impact solar energy grids in Texas and California. Special viewing events are being organized in various locations, but cloud cover may affect visibility. Safety guidelines for viewing and photographing the eclipse are being widely shared.

    Tomorrow an annular solar eclipse occur over the US. For us in Florida, only 50-60% of the eclipse will be visible (so half of the sun will still be seen). Current forecast looks better for some than others in Central FL with a mix of sun and clouds. https://t.co/pLx2JWQ0Ws https://t.co/gL5mWn5Sun

    When you get up Saturday morning, make sure to look up. Our skies will be transformed during a rare annular solar eclipse passing right by parts of the Western U.S., including here in the Bay Area. #RIngOfFire https://t.co/Hk9I7XllIg https://t.co/DXEn5LhZJ6
