An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 22, 2066,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9435. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring only about 8 hours after apogee (on June 22, 2066, at 11:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.[2]
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of the Russian Far East, Alaska, northern Canada, and the Azores. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of northern Russia, Canada, Greenland, the United States, the Caribbean, Northern Europe, and Western Europe.
