Annular Eclipse

On October 14th, 2023, a remarkable annular eclipse unfolded above the Rio Puerco Valley, where the moon positioned itself between Earth and sun with precision. Unlike total eclipses, the moon's orbital distance created a distinctive ring of fire—an annulus—as it blocked over 80% of the solar disk. This celestial spectacle triggered an equally profound terrestrial transformation: the desert landscape shifted from vibrant daylight activity to an eerie silence as wildlife, deceived by the sudden darkness, fell momentarily still.
