A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Monday, October 3 and Tuesday, October 4, 2089,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0333. 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 2.3 days after perigee (on October 1, 2089, at 17:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of China, the Ryukyu Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Kiribati. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of East Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and Hawaii.
