Solar eclipse of January 26, 2028

An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, January 26, 2028, with a magnitude of 0.9208. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide.

The path of annularity will pass through Ecuador, Peru, and northern Brazil. It will then travel across the Atlantic Ocean and end in Spain. A partial eclipse will be visible over much of Central and South America and Western Europe, as well as in northwestern Africa.
