ROADTRIP | 🏎️ Let your light shine, Ring of Fire: On October 14th, we will have the opportunity to see the Ring of Fire. Though it won’t be close to home, it might be worth the seven hour road-trip to see it (from Burbank), as this is the first time in United States history that we will be able to witness such. The partial eclipse will be seen across eight states, with our closest viewpoint northeast of Las Vegas at the Utah border. Unlike a total solar eclipse, the annular eclipse won't bring darkness or temperature changes, but showcases a captivating ring effect. This occurs as the moon, slightly farther from Earth in its elliptical orbit, crosses the sun. Livestreams will be online for those wanting to watch Netflix instead
