A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Monday, September 14, 2099,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0684. 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 5 hours before perigee (on September 15, 2099, at 12:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
