10月14日，新月的阴影将沿着一条狭窄的路径穿过北美洲、中美洲和南美洲。当从阴影路径上观察时，月球表面的大小并不能完全覆盖太阳。相反，月亮的剪影将在日全食的几分钟内出现，周围是一个火环，这是一种日环食，更戏剧性的是被称为火环日食。这张2012年5月拍摄的引人注目的时间推移序列说明了火环日食的阶段。从日食开始前到日落，人们可以在地球纪念碑谷的标志性山丘上看到它们。值得注意的是，10月14日的火环日食也将在纪念碑谷可见，从日出之后开始在东部天空。

Tracking along a narrow path, the shadow of a new moon will race across North, Central, and South America, on October 14. When viewed from the shadow path the apparent size of the lunar disk will not quite completely cover the Sun though. Instead, the moon in silhouette will appear during the minutes of totality surrounded by a fiery ring, an annular solar eclipse more dramatically known as a ring of fire eclipse. This striking time lapse sequence from May of 2012 illustrates the stages of a ring of fire eclipse. From before eclipse start until sunset, they are seen over the iconic buttes of planet Earth's Monument Valley. Remarkably, the October 14 ring of fire eclipse will also be visible over Monument Valley, beginning after sunrise in the eastern sky.
