Timezone / Date

You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

Accuracy

Due to the erratic rotation of the Earth, the time and location of the eclipse cannot be forecast perfectly. This eclipse's forecast is estimated to be accurate to within 2km in distance and a few seconds in time.

An annular eclipse of the Sun occurs on Tuesday 21 June, 2039 UT, lasting from 14:34–19:47 UT. The Sun will be 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 5 seconds and covering a very broad path, 365 km wide at maximum. It will be visible across Alaska and Yukon, northern Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus. The partial eclipse will be visible across North America, the north coast of Russia, and far western Europe.

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: 14:34:51 UT
Annular eclipse begins: 16:02:12 UT
Maximum eclipse: 17:11:20 UT
Annular eclipse ends: 18:20:21 UT
Partial eclipse ends: 19:47:43 UT

During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.525° in apparent diameter, 1.6% smaller than average. The Moon will be just 2 days past apogee, making it very small. At maximum eclipse it will be 0.496° in apparent diameter, which is 6.6% smaller than average; this is not large enough to cover the Sun, which is why this is an annular 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.

Interactive Map

This map shows the visibility of the eclipse. The shaded area will see the annular solar eclipse; however, near the edges of this area, the eclipse will be very short. The bold line shows the centre of the path, where the eclipse will last longest, so this is where you want to be if possible.

Use the zoom controls to zoom in and out; hover your mouse over any point on the centreline to see the time and duration of the eclipse at that point. You can pan and zoom the map to see detail for any part of the eclipse path.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that while all dates and times on this site (except where noted) are in UT, which is within a second of civil time, the dates and times shown in NASA's eclipse listingsGSFC Eclipse Web Site

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.
