A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Thursday, April 10 and Friday, April 11, 2070,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0472. 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. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 1.6 days before perigee (on April 12, 2070, at 17:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Sri Lanka, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Yongxing Island, the southern tip of Taiwan, and the Nanpō Islands. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for most of Asia and parts of Alaska, Hawaii, and western Canada.
