Solar eclipse of October 24, 2079

An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, October 24, 2079, with a magnitude of 0.9484. 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.
