Solar eclipse of January 6, 2076

A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Monday, January 6, 2076, 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 2076, with the others occurring on June 1, July 1, and November 26.
