Protip: Don't look directly at the sun!
When you picture an eclipse, you probably imagine a searing “ring of fire” peeking around the edges of the moon’s black silhouette. That’s an annular eclipse—like a total solar eclipse, except the moon is at the furthest point in its orbit and, because of its distance, doesn’t entirely block out the sun. One of these will cut across America on October 14.
Though DC is nowhere near the heart of the eclipse, we’ll still get a glimpse of it: approximately 30 percent of the sun will be covered here at the peak, around 1:18 PM on that Saturday.eclipse-themed family event from 10 AM to 2 PM.
But the eclipse will still be perceptible, to a lesser extent, throughout the continental US. Try to remember not to look directly into the sun as former president Trump, on August 21, 2017, got no closer to us than North Carolina. True eclipse-chasers are already planning trips for the Great North American Eclipse, which will cut across the continent on April 8, 2024, from Canada’s maritime provinces to Mexico’s Pacific coast, with a long path across the central US on the way.
