Want the Best View of This Month's Annular Eclipse? Hike These Trails
Because the moon is far and appears smaller in the sky, it only covers up 90 percent of the sun during an annular eclipse. Sections of Oregon, Utah, California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas are along this eclipse's path of annularity. It passes over the Four Corners region, major cities, national parks, and even the archeo-astronomical site at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.
