Overview
- Argentina’s naval hydrographic service reports the event runs from 09:56 to 14:27 UT, with the annular phase from 11:42 to 12:41 UT and peak duration of about two minutes.
- The full annular path crosses Antarctica, while a partial eclipse will be visible from southern Argentina and Chile, southern Africa, Madagascar, and adjacent ocean regions.
- Calculations from Spain’s national geographic institute show the Moon near apogee, covering roughly 96.3% of the Sun and producing an annular, not total, eclipse.
- Access to the best views is largely limited to scientific missions or specialized expeditions in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
- Specialists warn to use certified eclipse glasses or proper solar filters for optics and never look at the Sun directly at any stage.
