A total solar eclipse will occur on September 26, 2117. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

Visibility[]

It will be visible at sunrise across eastern Asia, Sakhalin and Kuril Islands, and then crossing the Pacific Ocean, including Kiribati. It will be visible as a partial eclipse over Hawaii, and at sunset partial eclipse over parts of Alaska.
