Discussing The October 14 "Ring Of Fire" Solar Eclipse Will Be NASA Scientists

NASA will have a media video chat at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Sept. 26, to examine the impending annular sunlight based obscure. The annular overshadowing will cross the U.S. from Oregon to Texas on Saturday, Oct. 14, with a fractional sun oriented overshadow noticeable all through the touching U.S.
