About 150 people came to @MiraCosta enjoy the #eclipse! The clouds burned off just in time for the #Sun and #Moon to give us a great show! If you got a good photo (crowd or eclipse) while you were there, please post it here or tell us where to find it. #EclipseSolar pic.twitter.com/fiqUl1jGNn

SOLAR ECLIPSE DOUBLE-HEADER!ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE 2023TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE in 2024 |

14 October 2023
The last time the path of annularity crossed parts of the continental U.S. was in 2012. The next time won't be until 2046, and it won't reach nearly as far.
This is "game 1" of the solar eclipse double-header. Don't miss game 2, the TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE (click here) crossing the U.S. on 08 April 2024!
In California, only a tiny northeastern portion will see annularity (see path above or this clickable map), but the rest of the state will get a partial eclipse! (An awesome sight, particularly if you've never seen one.) In fact, nearly ALL of North, Central, and South America sees this October's event!
Your proximity to the path of annularity dictates how much of the solar disk you'll see covered: closer to the path = more of the disk covered. What will you see from Oceanside, CA? Approximately 70% coverage at maximum eclipse. Go here for more specific information and an animation.

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun.
