Where to look

GLOBAL EVENT. Annularity crosses a limited path; a partial eclipse spans a wider region. Local eclipse visibility has not been calculated for this observer.

Global event · local visibility

Local eclipse circumstances are not calculated. Seeing the Sun or Moon above the horizon alone does not establish that this eclipse is visible from your location.

Eclipse magnitude: 0.9281

Never look directly at the Sun without certified solar viewers. The sky view marks the Sun only; it does not calculate eclipse circumstances at your location.
