A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, November 25, 2030,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0468. 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 only about 14 hours before perigee (on November 25, 2030, at 21:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]

Totality will be visible in Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, and Australia. A partial eclipse will be visible for much of Central and Southern Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and Indonesia.
