A partial eclipse of the Sun occurs on Tuesday 19 October, 2275 UT, with maximum eclipse at 21:52 UT. A small partial eclipse will barely darken the Sun. With just 38% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this will be of limited interest.
Maximum eclipse is at 21:52:29 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun will be 0.535° in apparent
diameter, 0.3% larger than average. The Moon will be just 2 days past perigee, making it relatively large.
At maximum eclipse it will be 0.539° in apparent
diameter, which is 1.5% larger 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.

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).
