A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, December 27, 2084,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0396. 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 21 hours before perigee (on December 28, 2084, at 6:00 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of the Crozet Islands. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Southern Africa, Antarctica, and Australia.
