This location falls outside the shaded visibility area. Choose a place inside the shading or select another eclipse.
How to read the map
- Magenta shading marks the approximate area where at least a partial eclipse may be visible. Darker bands mean a larger percentage of the Sun is covered.
- The solid band is where the eclipse becomes annular; the dashed centre line is usually near the longest central phase.

Viewing safely
Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without suitable solar viewing protection. Eclipse glasses should comply with ISO 12312-2. Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need purpose-made filters fitted over the front of the optics.

When is the next solar eclipse?
The next solar eclipse is an annular eclipse on 6 February 2027. Select it above to check whether it is visible from your location.
What is the difference between total and partial visibility?
The global eclipse type describes the event at its strongest point. A globally total eclipse is seen as total only inside its narrow central path; surrounding regions may see a partial eclipse.
How accurate are the eclipse times?
The catalogue and paths use NASA GSFC predictions. Local circumstances are calculated for the selected coordinates and should be checked against an official local source before travel or observation.
