A 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse will speed across the Americas on Oct. 14, 2023.
The fact that Earth is round makes a massive difference to the speed of the eclipse. As it first strikes the northern Pacific Ocean the moon's antumbral shadow will move at an astonishing 198,842 mph, according to Xavier Jubier's. As it departs the planet 219 minutes later in the Atlantic Ocean it will do so at 582,976 mph.
Nowhere in the U.S. will the shadow's speed be at its fastest or slowest for this eclipse. As it strikes the Oregon coast at 9:13 a.m. PDT the speed of the moon's shadow will have already slowed down significantly to 5,683 mph. As it leaves the coast of Texas just 50 minutes later at 12:03 p.m. CDT it will have slowed down to 1,772 mph. So during its passage southeast across the U.S., it will decrease in speed by 3,911 mph.
