An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Sunday, April 10 and Monday, April 11, 2089,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9919. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. The Moon's apparent diameter will be near the average diameter because it will occur 7 days after apogee (on April 3, 2089, at 23:20 UTC) and 6.8 days before perigee (on April 17, 2089, at 17:00 UTC).[2]
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of southeastern Australia, Tonga, and Niue. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Australia, Oceania, Antarctica, Mexico, and Central America.
