An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10, 2035,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9919. 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. The Moon's apparent diameter will be near the average diameter because it will occur 7.6 days after apogee (on March 2, 2035, at 9:30 UTC) and 5.1 days before perigee (on March 15, 2035, at 1:40 UTC).[2]
Annularity will be visible for parts of New Zealand. A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of Australia, Oceania, Antarctica, and central Mexico.
