A rare "Ring of fire" solar eclipse will transform the skies for parts of the Western U.S. on Saturday. Here's what you can expect in Southern California, plus when and how to watch the celestial event safely.The eclipse will briefly dim the skies over parts of the western U.S. and Central and South America. As the moon lines up precisely between Earth and the sun, it will blot out all but the sun's outer rim.
In California, we'll start seeing it shortly after 9 a.m. The view from our region will show the moon cover about 70% of the sun. This type of eclipse won't return to this part of the country until 2046!Dey emphasized that you should never ever look at the sun directly. If you want to observe the eclipse, you will need some solar viewing glasses or use an indirect viewing method.
