Overview
- Best views are expected from New Zealand, parts of eastern Australia including Macquarie Island, Pacific islands and Antarctic stations, with no direct visibility for Mexico or most of the Americas and Europe.
- At peak, the Moon will cover roughly 80–86% of the Sun over the Southern Ocean; local coverage ranges from about 60–73% in New Zealand to nearly 80% at Macquarie Island, around 69–72% at McMurdo and Zucchelli, about 1% in Sydney, and none in Melbourne.
- The event spans roughly 264 minutes from first to last contact, beginning over the Pacific and ending near Antarctica.
- Timeanddate will stream the eclipse live on YouTube, with additional guidance available from platforms such as Space.com and apps like Star Walk for location-specific timings.
- The eclipse arrives a day before the September equinox and closes the 2025 eclipse season, with agencies also flagging planning for major totals on August 12, 2026 (including Spain) and August 2, 2027 (about 6 minutes 22–23 seconds of totality).
