On October 14, 2023, the silhouette of the moon will appear in front of the sun just after 9 a.m., creating an annular solar eclipse. The "Ring of Fire" eclipse will be partially visible across Oregon's skies, but the best viewing is in the path of annularity.
An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth while the moon is at the farthest point in its path. The moon will appear to be smaller than the sun and the sun will appear as a very bright ring around the dark shape of the moon.

Corvallis, Oregon will be just inside the path of annularity for the Ring of Fire eclipse on Oct. 14. Any of our parks and natural areas should make good viewing spots, as well as Marys Peak.
