Solar eclipse of January 16, 2094

A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, January 16, 2094, with a magnitude of 1.0342. 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.

This will be the first of four solar eclipses in 2094, with the others occurring on June 13, July 12, and December 7.

This total eclipse is notable in that the path of totality passes over the South Pole.
