A partial eclipse of the Sun occurs on Tuesday 12 June, 2029 UT, lasting from 02:26–05:43 UT. A small partial eclipse will be visible in extreme northern Europe, Asia and Canada. With just 46% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this will be of limited interest.

The timings of the phases of the overall eclipse worldwide are as follows. In any particular place it will be seen for a significantly shorter duration as the shadow moves across the Earth:

Partial eclipse begins: 02:26:15 UT
Maximum eclipse: 04:04:48 UT
Partial eclipse ends: 05:43:19 UT

During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.525° in apparent diameter, 1.5% smaller than average. The Moon will be 5 days after apogee and 10 days before perigee. At maximum eclipse it will be 0.506° in apparent diameter, which is 4.8% smaller than average. This has no real effect on this eclipse, since the Moon's central shadow misses the Earth, making this a partial eclipse. The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed information on the Moon's key dates.

are in the TDT timescale.

The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0% is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee). The statistics page has information on the ranges of sizes of the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed information on the Moon's key dates.
