As the highly anticipated October 14, 2023 solar eclipse draws near, Eclipse Glasses USA, a trusted supplier of ISO certified solar eclipse glasses, is delighted to unveil the top destinations for experiencing the awe-inspiring October 2023 Annular Eclipse. With our expertise in solar events, we have carefully curated a list of remarkable global locations that offer optimal conditions for witnessing this breathtaking celestial phenomenon.
Set to occur on October 14, the October 2023 Annular Eclipse promises to be a captivating visual spectacle. This will be the last western United States eclipse until 2045, making it an extraordinary event for skywatchers. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is closer to its farthest point from Earth in its orbit. As a result, the Moon appears visually smaller than the Sun, and its shadow does not fully reach the Earth’s surface.
To assist enthusiasts in planning their eclipse adventure, we present the following highly recommended destinations:
- 9:09am MDT
Richfield, Utah – Blue Claim Hill: Ascend Blue Claim Hill for unobstructed views of the eclipse. Located near a certified Dark Skies Monument, Richfield offers excellent viewing conditions for both day and night sky observation. This astronomical haven is a must-visit for eclipse enthusiasts, allowing you to experience the annular eclipse amidst the magical wonders of the celestial world.
- 9:13am MDT
Albuquerque, New Mexico – Petroglyph National Monument: This awe-inspiring location seamlessly combines natural beauty with optimal viewing conditions. The vast open vistas of the National Monument ensure an uninterrupted view of the eclipse, free from any tree obstructions. If you’re unable to visit Petroglyph, head south of Albuquerque to Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary for dark skies. Embrace the picturesque landscapes and clear skies of Albuquerque while witnessing an unforgettable celestial spectacle against the backdrop of stunning scenery.
- 10:23am CDT
