Overview
- NASA’s timeline places totality from 6:04 to 7:03 a.m. ET, with penumbral and partial phases extending the event to roughly five and a half hours.
- Best views span North and Central America, East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, while most of Europe and Africa have no visibility.
- India sees the eclipse at moonrise in many regions, with northeastern states more likely to catch the end of totality before sunset constraints.
- The India Meteorological Department calls it a deep, total eclipse with a magnitude of 1.155, confirming the Moon passes fully into Earth’s umbra.
- Viewing is safe with the naked eye, binoculars or a small telescope can enhance the red hues, and observatories and websites are providing livestreams.
