An annular eclipse of the Sun occurs on Tuesday 22 June, 2066 UT, with maximum eclipse at 19:23 UT. The Sun will be 94% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 40 seconds and covering a very broad path, 309 km wide at maximum.
The annular eclipse lasts for 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
Maximum eclipse is at 19:23:41 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.525° in apparent
diameter, 1.6% smaller than average. The Moon will be at apogee, making it extremely small.
At maximum eclipse it will be 0.495° in
apparent diameter, which is 6.8% 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.

The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
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).
