NSYNC's Lance Bass Shows How to Safely View an Annular Solar Eclipse

On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, the Moon will pass between the Earth and Sun, giving people across the United States an opportunity to see an annular solar eclipse, also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse. Lance Bass has some safety tips to share so that you don't say "Bye, Bye, Bye" to your vision.

WARNING: During an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing. Don't be a space cowboy.Not in the path of the eclipse? Watch with us from anywhere in the world. We will provide live broadcast coverage on Oct. 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. EDT (1530-1715 UTC) on NASA TV, NASA.gov, the NASA app.
This "ring of fire" eclipse will be visible along a narrow path stretching from Oregon to Texas in the U.S. Outside this path, people across the contiguous U.S. - as well as Puerto Rico and parts of Alaska and Hawaii - will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, when part of the Sun is covered by the Moon without creating the ring of fire effect.
