An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Wednesday, November 14 and Thursday, November 15, 2096,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9237. 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 about 1.2 days before apogee (on November 16, 2096, at 5:05 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.[2]
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, northeastern Australia, and New Zealand. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Southeast Asia, Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica.
