Solar eclipse of April 30, 2041

A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 30, 2041, with a magnitude of 1.0189. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

Path description
The path of totality will begin in the South Atlantic Ocean before making landfall at Luanda, the capital of Angola. From there, the path will cross the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda (where totality will be visible in the northern portions of the capital Kampala), Kenya, and Somalia. The path will then exit Africa and end over the Indian Ocean.

A partial solar eclipse will also be visible over much of Africa and portions of India, the Middle East, and South America.
