A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, January 16, 2075,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0311. 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 1.5 days after perigee (on January 15, 2075, at 7:25 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Oceania, Antarctica, and South America.
