October's new moon will occur today (Oct. 2) and create a dazzling annular solar eclipse.
The new moon occurs on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at 2:49 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (1849 GMT), according to the U.S. Naval Observatory, and for observers in the southeastern Pacific islands and southern Chile and Argentina there will be an annular solar eclipse.
I at least appreciate the notice. I forget about annular but it's neat to see one happened almost exactly 1 year ago on the Oct 14th. I'm aware of the April 8 total though
