Annular Solar Eclipse — 5 November 2059
The Moon sits inside the Sun's disc, leaving a blazing ring; the ring is visible from Djibouti, DJ.
WHERE TO WATCH FROM
About this simulation — what is exact and what is typical
Exact: positions of the Sun and Moon (topocentric, per selected point), disc sizes, contact times, coverage, altitudes. Computed in your browser with the MIT-licensed astronomy-engine ephemeris, the same engine that generated this catalog.
Typical: the solar corona and the exact colour of a lunar totality. The corona's real shape depends on the solar activity cycle and is unknowable years ahead; the Moon's colour in Earth's shadow depends on the state of our atmosphere on the day. Clouds are scenery — real weather is not simulated.
Times are UTC. Ground tracks decades ahead can drift by fractions of a degree because Earth's rotation (ΔT) is slightly irregular.
