Solar eclipse of October 14, 2042

An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, October 14, 2042, with a magnitude of 0.93. 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.

This eclipse will be the second eclipse to cross Southeast Asia in 2042 after the total solar eclipse of April 20, 2042.
