A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, August 12, 2064,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0495. 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 2.2 days before perigee (on August 14, 2064, at 21:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Chile and Argentina. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of eastern Oceania, Mexico, Central America, South America, and Antarctica. This eclipse will pass through the Chilean cities of Valparaíso and the capital Santiago.
