A total solar eclipse will occur on Thursday, April 9, 2043. 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. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

Contents

It will be unusual in that while it is a total solar eclipse, it is not a central solar eclipse (when the gamma is 0.9972 or larger). A non-central eclipse is one where the center-line of totality does not intersect the surface of the Earth. Instead, the center line passes just above the Earth's surface. This rare type occurs when totality is only visible at sunset or sunrise in a polar region.

Visibility

It will be seen fully from Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, Magadan Oblast and on the north-east of Yakutia (in the morning on April 10 local time). It will be visible partially throughout northeastern Russia, in Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and Iceland. It will be also partially visible from the western part United States including Alaska, Hawaii, and the North Pacific.

Settlements of total phase: Evensk, Omsukchan, Palana, Seymchan and Zyryanka.

Saros 149

Solar saros 149, repeating every about 18 years and 11 days, contains 71 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on August 21, 1664. It has total eclipses from April 9, 2043, to October 2, 2331. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on September 28, 2926. The longest total eclipse will be on July 17, 2205, at 4 minutes and 10 seconds. [2]

Series members 15–25 occur between 1901 and 2100:

Metonic series

The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node.
