A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Saturday, May 11, 2097,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0538. 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 before perigee (on May 13, 2097, at 1:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Alaska, Svalbard, eastern Norway, and northwestern Russia. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Hawaii, northern Russia, Canada, the northwestern United States, Greenland, and Northern Europe.
