'Ring of fire' solar eclipse to put on show for California this month

Californians will have a good view of the annular solar eclipse, aka a "ring of fire" eclipse, when it happens later this month. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon, while at its farthest point from Earth, passes between our planet and the sun.

The dazzling event causes a dark circle that partially covers the sun but leaves an orange, fiery glow around the shadowed edges of the moon. This is set to occur on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 9:13 a.m. PDT, and your ability to view the event will depend on the weather and your location.
