Overview
- TimeandDate lists the September 21 partial eclipse from 17:29:43 UTC, peaking at 19:41:59 UTC, and ending at 21:53:45 UTC.
- It will be visible mainly over the southern hemisphere—Antarctica, the South Pacific, parts of New Zealand, and the east coast of Australia—with New Zealand seeing it after sunrise on September 22.
- Estimates indicate about 16.6 million people are within the partial path and roughly 409,000 could be positioned for the deepest view where the Moon covers near 80% of the Sun.
- Viewers should use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or solar filters and never look at the Sun unprotected; livestreams from TimeandDate and other observatories are available for regions without visibility.
- Looking ahead, NASA confirms the August 2, 2027 total eclipse will last about 6m22s from the Atlantic across Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt (near maximum at Luxor), then through Saudi Arabia and Yemen, with reports that more than 90 million people lie in the path.
