A total solar eclipse will occur on July 5, 2168. 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 kilometers wide. Lasting a maximum of 7 minutes, 26 seconds, it will surpass the longest eclipse of the 11th century, which lasted 7 minutes and 20 seconds, though be surpassed by the solar eclipse of July 16, 2186 and the next occurrence. This is the largest total solar eclipse of Saros 139. The point of greatest eclipse occurs 1,468 km (912 mi) north of the Equator.
Extreme magnitude
With an eclipse magnitude of 1.0807, this is the largest total solar eclipse in the millennium, also the largest total solar eclipse in Solar Saros 139.

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 139, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 71 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on May 17, 1501. It contains hybrid eclipses from August 11, 1627 through December 9, 1825 and total eclipses from December 21, 1843 through March 26, 2601. There are no annular eclipses in this set. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on July 3, 2763. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
The longest duration of totality will be produced by member 61 at 7 minutes, 29.22 seconds on July 16, 2186. This date is the longest solar eclipse computed between 4000 BC and AD 6000.[1] All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[2]
