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 time is estimated to be accurate ± 5m38s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 1.41 degrees, or around ± 129 km (80 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

An annular eclipse of the Sun occurs on Monday 6 June, 2225 UT, with maximum eclipse at 23:13 UT. A small annular eclipse will cover only 94% of the Sun in a very broad path, 425 km wide at maximum, and will last 7 minutes and 10 seconds.

The annular eclipse lasts for 7 minutes and 10 seconds. Maximum eclipse is at 23:13:06 UT.

During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.526° in apparent diameter, 1.4% smaller than average. The Moon will be at apogee, making it extremely small. At maximum eclipse it will be 0.494° in apparent diameter, which is 7.0% 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 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.
