A total solar eclipse will occur on May 11, 2097. 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.

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:
