A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Tuesday, December 25 and Wednesday, December 26, 2057,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0348. 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 only about 6.5 hours before perigee (on December 26, 2057, at 7:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Antarctica. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Antarctica.
