Total solar eclipse on 22 July 2028

The Moon covers the Sun completely. Where its umbra touches the Earth, along a narrow track, day turns dark for minutes and the solar corona shines around the black disc. Around it, for thousands of kilometres, the Sun is partly covered.

Watching safely
Never look at the Sun without eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2), not even when it is almost completely covered, and never through binoculars or a camera without a solar filter. Only during the brief total phase is it safe to look without protection.
