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 and northern islands of Japan, and then crossing the pacific ocean. It will be visible as a partial eclipse over Hawaii, and at sunset partial eclipse over parts of Alaska.
