Partial Solar Eclipse on Sept. 21 Will Favor Southern Hemisphere

The event coincides with other sky highlights, including Saturn at opposition.

Overview

  • Published schedules place the eclipse window roughly between 17:29 and 21:53 UTC, with the Moon covering only part of the Sun.
  • It will be visible from southern Australia, New Zealand, nearby Pacific islands and parts of Antarctica, and it will not be observable from Mexico according to UNAM.
  • Because the path crosses the International Date Line, New Zealand viewers will catch the spectacle at sunrise on Sept. 22 local time.
  • Viewers outside the visibility zone can follow livestreams, while NASA and established astronomy sites provide authoritative maps and timing.
  • NASA’s listings indicate this is the year’s final solar eclipse, with the next major events arriving in 2027.
