Annular Solar Eclipse in Progress, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

The moon begins to pass between the Earth and sun during the first stage of the annual solar eclipse of October 14, 2023. Here the sun was more than half eclipsed as viewed from Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. During an annular eclipse, the moon is too far away from Earth to fully cover the solar disk, creating a ring of fire effect. When this eclipse reached its maximum point, just over 90 percent of the solar disk was obscured by the moon.
