On this week's episode, it's all-things Annular Solar Eclipse with the stellar event on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. The path of totality in the US and the "ring of fire" will be visible from Oregon to Texas from 9:13 a.m PDT to 12:03 p.m. CDT (and many other locations in Central & South America)

We discuss:

• WHAT are differences between Annular & Total Solar Eclipses?
• WHAT is the "Ring of Fire"?
• WHERE will this be visible from?
• HOW can you watch the Annular Solar Eclipse?
• HOW can you safely observe without damaging your eyesight?
• HOW can you tell you have legit solar eclipse glasses/filters?
• HOW to make a DIY Pinhole Solar Eclipse viewer
• HOW we will be using our smart Telescope Vespera to watch the partial Solar Eclipse from Massachusetts
