A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 30, 2041, with a magnitude of 1.0189. 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 3.75 days after perigee (on April 26, 2041, at 17:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.

Path description

The path of totality will begin in the South Atlantic Ocean before making landfall at Luanda, the capital of Angola. From there, the path will cross the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda (where totality will be visible in the northern portions of the capital Kampala), Kenya, and Somalia. The path will then exit Africa and end over the Indian Ocean.

A partial solar eclipse will also be visible over much of eastern South America, Africa, Antarctica, the Middle East, and South Asia.

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.
