August 23, 2063 — Total Solar Eclipse — Eiao
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Phase | Time | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
16:30:57 Thu, Aug 23 | Partial eclipse beginsThe moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact. | 285° | 19.1° | |
17:28:17 Thu, Aug 23 | Maximum eclipseThe deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the WNW. | 282° | 5.1° | |
17:52:20 Thu, Aug 23 | SunsetThe sun is setting. | 281° | -0.3° | |
18:20:52 Thu, Aug 23 | Partial eclipse endsThe edge of the Moon leaves the edge of the Sun. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to the W for the best view of the eclipse. | 280° | -7.6° |
* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 79.5 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 looks like near the maximum point. The curvature of the Moon's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
