Solar eclipse of May 31, 2049

An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Monday, May 31, 2049, with a magnitude of 0.9631. 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 4.1 days before apogee (on June 4, 2049, at 15:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.

The path of annularity will be visible from parts of Peru, southern Ecuador, southern Colombia, northern Brazil, southern Venezuela, Guyana, northern Suriname, Cape Verde, Senegal, Gambia, southwestern Mali, northern Guinea, southwestern Burkina Faso, northeastern Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, southern Nigeria, Cameroon, extreme northern Gabon, northern Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, and western Tanzania. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Central America, the Caribbean, northern and central South America, the Southeastern United States, Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East.

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. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
