An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Monday, November 15, 2077, with a magnitude of 0.9371. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially 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 days after apogee (on November 11, 2077, at 17:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of Oregon, southwestern Washington, northeastern California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas in the United States, the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula, the western tip of Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, northern Brazil, Guyana, southern Suriname, and extreme southern French Guiana. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of North America, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, and West Africa.

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.
