A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Thursday, April 9, 2043, with a magnitude of 1.0095. 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 22 hours before perigee (on April 10, 2043, at 17:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.

It will be unusual in that while it is a total solar eclipse, it is not a central solar eclipse. A non-central eclipse is one where the center-line of totality does not intersect the surface of the Earth (when the gamma is between 0.9972 and 1.0260). Instead, the center line passes just above the Earth's surface. This rare type occurs when totality is only visible at sunset or sunrise in a polar region.

This will be the first of 43 umbral eclipses in Solar Saros 149.

Visibility The eclipse will be seen fully from Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, Magadan Oblast and on the north-east of Yakutia (in the morning on April 10 local time). It will be visible partially throughout northeastern Russia, in Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and Iceland. It will be also partially visible from the western part United States including Alaska, Hawaii, and the North Pacific.

Settlements of total phase: Evensk, Omsukchan, Palana, Seymchan and Zyryanka.

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.
