A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Tuesday, August 14 and Wednesday, August 15, 2091,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0216. 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 3.3 days before perigee (on August 18, 2091, at 7:15 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
While the path of totality will not be visible from any landmasses, a partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica. This will be the last of 42 umbral eclipses of Solar Saros 127.
