With less than 90 days remaining until the highly anticipated solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, Eclipse Glasses USA, a leading provider of ISO certified solar eclipse glasses, is thrilled to announce the unveiling of the most sought-after destinations for witnessing the breathtaking phenomenon of the October 2023 Annular Eclipse. Drawing upon our expertise in solar events, we have carefully curated a list of exceptional locations worldwide that offer optimal viewing conditions for this celestial spectacle.
Taking place on October 14, the October 2023 Annular Eclipse promises to be a captivating visual marvel, marking the final western United States eclipse until 2045. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is positioned closer to its maximum distance from Earth in its orbit. Consequently, if an eclipse occurs during this phase, the Moon will visually appear smaller than the Sun, and its shadow cast will not extend far enough to reach Earth.
To assist enthusiasts in planning their eclipse adventure, we present the following top destinations:
- 9:09am MDT
Richfield, Utah: Blue Claim Hill: Ascend Blue Claim Hill for unobstructed views of the eclipse. Situated just outside a certified Dark Skies Monument, Richfield boasts ideal conditions for both day and night sky observation. A must-visit for eclipse enthusiasts, Richfield offers the opportunity to experience the annular eclipse from this astronomical haven while immersing oneself in the enchanting wonders of the celestial realm.

Albuquerque, New Mexico: Petroglyph National Monument: This awe-inspiring location combines natural beauty with optimal viewing conditions. The National Monument provides expansive vistas where trees will not hinder your eclipse viewing.

With its picturesque landscapes and clear skies, Albuquerque guarantees a remarkable spectacle against the backdrop of its stunning scenery.
