 Annual Surya Grahan will occur on THIS day in 2023, so here's how to see it, as well as information on live streaming


On October 14, 2023, the yearly solar eclipse known as Surya Grahan is scheduled to occur. When the moon is at or near its farthest point from Earth, however, it happens when it passes between the sun and planet.


It will be an annual solar eclipse on Saturday, also referred to as the "ring of fire" eclipse. The yearly solar eclipse, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is known as the "ring of fire" because the moon, which is further away from Earth, looks smaller than the sun and does not totally cover it.




Instead, the sun's core is obscured by the moon, leaving its outer borders to appear like a ring.


The yearly solar eclipse will begin at 11.29 p.m. IST and terminate at 11.34 p.m. IST, but it won't be visible in India. It should persist for five minutes or so.


The United States, Mexico, and a number of Central and South American nations will all be able to see the solar eclipse, which will be visible throughout much of North America.


According to US time zones, NASA estimates that the solar eclipse will start in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PDT and terminate in Texas at 12:03 p.m. CDT.


How should I view the solar eclipse?

Since the annular solar eclipse won't be visible in India, one may view it live on YouTube thanks to NASA.


In addition to the solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse will also occur on October 29. It will be the year's second lunar eclipse.


Observers of the night sky may potentially see the Orionid meteor shower in October. Jake Foster, a public astronomy officer at the Royal Observatory, predicted that the Orionid meteor shower would be at its best on October 21 (October 22 in India) between midnight and dawn. Each day, around 25 shooting stars may be seen.
