Partial Solar Eclipse Today, Peaking at 19:41 UTC

Safe in-person viewing is confined to limited southern locations, with livestreams available for everyone else.

Overview

  • The partial eclipse runs from about 17:29 to 21:53 UTC with the greatest phase near 19:41 UTC, lasting roughly four and a half hours overall.
  • Direct visibility is limited to the southern hemisphere, including New Zealand, parts of eastern Australia (best at Macquarie Island), Pacific islands and Antarctic stations such as McMurdo and Mario Zucchelli.
  • Coverage will reach up to about 80% in the best locations, with New Zealand seeing roughly 60%–73% and Antarctic sites around 69%–72%; most of the Americas and Europe will not see it directly.
  • Time and Date plans live coverage for viewers outside the path, and NASA and other experts stress using ISO 12312-2 certified solar filters or indirect projection methods for any direct observation.
  • This is the year’s last solar eclipse; the next solar events are an annular eclipse on February 17, 2026 and a total eclipse on August 12, 2026, with a notably long total eclipse confirmed for August 2, 2027.
