How soon will the annular solar eclipse occur on October 2?

On October 2, a annular solar eclipse will be visible from the southern hemisphere. During this event, the moon does not completely cover the sun from our perspective on Earth, so it leaves a “ring of fire” around the moon.

It appears that the moon’s shadow moves at vastly different speeds depending on your location. In some places it will move faster than 10 million km/h; in others it will travel as slowly as 2,057 km/h, or about the speed of a fighter jet.
