Solar eclipse of September 12, 2034

An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, September 12, 2034, with a magnitude of 0.9736. 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 eclipse will commence over the southern Pacific Ocean, and enter South America. Countries under the path include northern Chile, southern Bolivia, northern Argentina, southern Paraguay, and southern Brazil. The eclipse will then enter the Atlantic Ocean, and terminate approximately 2000 miles southeast of South America.
