* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse, the beginning & end of annularity, and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 66.1 seconds.
Timings for other events are approximate—they are included here as a rough guide to features that might be observable. The icons show the position of the Moon against the Sun at each stage.
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like near the maximum point. The curvature of the Moon's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
