Solar eclipse of November 4, 2078
Future annular solar eclipse / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, November 4, 2078, with a magnitude of 0.9255. 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 path of annularity will cross the Pacific Ocean, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
