An annular eclipse of the Sun occurs on Monday 28 February, 2101 UT, with maximum eclipse at 02:13 UT. This marginal annular eclipse will last 2 minutes and 44 seconds, with the annular path covering a small area in the north polar regions.
The annular eclipse lasts for 2 minutes and 44 seconds.
Maximum eclipse is at 02:13:01 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.538° in apparent
diameter, 1.0% larger than average. The Moon will be 7 days after perigee and 6 days before apogee.
At maximum eclipse it will be 0.517° in
apparent diameter, which is 2.6% 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.

the dates and times shown in NASA's eclipse listingsGSFC Eclipse Web Site
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).
