Overview

• Global window is confirmed for 17:29:43–21:53:45 UTC, with maximum around 19:41:59 UTC and an overall duration near 264 minutes.
• Best views occur south of New Zealand and at Antarctic stations, with Australia’s Macquarie Island near ~80% coverage; the event is not directly visible in the Americas or most of Europe.
• Time and Date will stream the eclipse with maps and multiple southern-hemisphere camera feeds for audiences outside the viewing zone.
• Roughly 16.6 million people lie within the partial path, and about 409,000 are near the maximum point where the Moon covers close to 80% of the Sun.
• Observers must use ISO 12312-2–certified solar filters or indirect methods, as ordinary sunglasses and unfiltered optics can cause eye injury; NASA also notes the Aug. 2, 2027 total eclipse will be the century’s longest (~6m22–23s) with maximum near Luxor, Egypt.
