There will be an annular solar eclipse visible on Saturday, October 14 from many parts of North America.
A 🧵on how eclipses work, and how you can predict them by just paying attention to cycles, no computers or 3D models of the solar system necessary.

- Map of North America showing the path of the annular solar eclipse. The path of the annular eclipse covers a line that goes diagonally from northwest to southeast through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Texas. Lines marking a 90% through 10% eclipse are drawn on the map, to the west and east of the eclipse path, which follow a similar northwest-to-southeast diagonal line. In the westernmost part of the map, Baja California is crossed by a 60% line. In the easternmost part of the map, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are crossed by a 10% line. (remote)
