Only a small fraction of people will see it directly, with most viewers turning to verified live streams for coverage.

Overview

  • Predicted window runs from about 17:30 to 21:54 UTC with the greatest phase near 19:41 UTC, with exact times varying by location.
  • Direct visibility is confined to parts of New Zealand, eastern Australia, South Pacific islands and regions of Antarctica, with no view from Brazil.
  • Forecasters expect a deep partial event with up to roughly 80–86% of the Sun obscured in the best‑placed areas, corresponding to a magnitude near 0.855.
  • NASA advises ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses, proper solar filters for optics or indirect projection methods, and warns against looking through cameras or binoculars with only eclipse glasses.
  • Live coverage is slated from platforms such as TimeandDate and Space.com, along with streams from observatories in Australia and New Zealand.
