A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of its orbit on Monday, October 26, 2144. 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. This total solar eclipse is the first large one visible from New York City since January 24, 1925 (there is another one in 2079, but a few minutes after sunrise)[1] and the second visible from the Azores in only 2.4 years. Totality lasts 4 minutes and 5 seconds, occurring at 12:29:39 EST in the North Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of New Jersey. Occurring just two hours before perigee (Perigee at 14:14 EST on the same day),[2] the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.
This will be the 13th of 71 eclipses from Solar Saros 155. The next eclipse in the series – tied with this one for the longest total – will occur on Saturday, November 6, 2162.
Visibility
It will begin at sunrise over northwestern Canada, then move southeast through Canada (Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario) and the United States (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and New Jersey) before setting out to sea and ending at sunset after the Azores. This eclipse offers totality to parts of all five Great Lakes on the Canada–United States border.
Partiality will be visible across nearly the entire North American continent, in addition to western Africa, western Europe, and northern South America.
