What you need to know:
– Partial Visibility: On October 2, there will be an annular solar eclipse, but it will only be partially visible in some parts of Mexico. The next opportunity to see another eclipse will be in 2028.
– Eclipse Details: An annular solar eclipse means the Moon will not completely cover the Sun, leaving a “ring of fire” visible. This phenomenon will be seen in very few parts of the world, while the rest will experience a partial solar eclipse.
– Visibility in Mexico: The eclipse will be visible in some municipalities of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Colima, and Jalisco. Cities like La Paz, Los Cabos, San José del Cabo, and Manzanillo will have the best views, though only at a low percentage.
