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.
