Deep Partial Solar Eclipse on Sept. 21/22 Will Favor New Zealand and Antarctica

The year’s final solar eclipse arrives a day before the equinox to deliver rare sunrise views in the far south.

Overview

  • The eclipse runs from about 17:29 to 21:53–21:54 UTC, reaching maximum near 19:41–19:43 UTC according to authoritative forecasts.
  • Up to roughly 80–86% of the Sun will be obscured at the best locations, with New Zealand’s South Island and Antarctic stations seeing the deepest views at sunrise.
  • Most of the Northern Hemisphere will miss the event, with no visibility in North America, Europe or India.
  • TimeandDate plans a live broadcast from Dunedin, New Zealand, for viewers outside the path.
  • Experts warn to use certified solar eclipse glasses or proper solar filters at all times during the partial phases.
