Another solar eclipse is coming to the U.S., and once again it will cross over Oregon.
But unlike the total solar eclipse of 2017, this year’s annular solar eclipse won’t completely block out the sun, leaving what’s known as a “ring of fire” in the sky on the morning of Oct. 14.
With the eclipse visible from some of Oregon’s most scenic destinations, travelers should expect campgrounds and hotels to fill up around places like Crater Lake, Steens Mountain and the Oregon Dunes – though the possibility of cloudy fall skies will likely deter huge crowds of eclipse watchers from flocking to the state.
“We’ve got the worst [weather] in the nation for this annular eclipse,” said Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. “Let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
