A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, December 6, 2067,^[1] with a magnitude of 1.0011. It is a hybrid event, beginning and ending as an annular eclipse. 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 3.4 days before perigee (on December 10, 2067, at 0:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.^[2]

The path of the eclipse will be visible as an annular eclipse from parts of southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, southern Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana before transitioning to a total eclipse. Totality will be visible from parts of Brazil before the eclipse transforms back to an annular eclipse, then passing over Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Sudan. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of eastern North America, Central America, the Caribbean, northern and central South America, southern Europe, and Africa.
