Overview
- An annular solar eclipse on February 17 will form a ring of fire fully visible only from remote Antarctic research stations, with a partial view across Antarctica and parts of southern Africa and Argentina.
- A total lunar eclipse on March 2–3 will turn the full Moon reddish for about 58 minutes, visible from western North America, Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, and the Pacific.
- The August 12 total solar eclipse will cross eastern Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain, with up to 2 minutes 18 seconds of totality and partial phases across Europe and parts of North America.
- Three supermoons arrive on January 3, November 24, and December 23, with the December 23 full Moon projected to be the closest since 2019 at about 221,668 miles (356,740 km).
