A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, January 27, 2093,[1] with a magnitude of 1.034. 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 1.3 days after perigee (on January 25, 2093, at 18:45 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]

The path of totality will be visible from parts of Australia, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Antarctica, Australia, Indonesia, and Oceania.
