A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, March 30, 2033, with a magnitude of 1.0462. 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 11 hours after perigee (on March 30, 2033, at 7:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.

Totality will be visible from parts of the Russian Far East and Alaska, including in the cities of Nome, Alaska and Utqiaġvik, Alaska in the mid-morning hours. A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of eastern Russia, Hawaii, North America, Greenland, and Iceland. This will be the last of 55 umbral eclipses in Solar Saros 120.

Eclipse season

This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight.
