A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 30, 2041,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0189. 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 3.75 days after perigee (on April 26, 2041, at 17:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
