Annular eclipse in Manaus, 26 January 2028

The Moon, slightly too small to cover the Sun, will leave a ring of it for 7 min 01 s, from 10:24:49 to 10:31:49 (local time in Manaus). At maximum, at 10:28:19, the Sun will stand 60° above the horizon, towards the east-south-east.

The path near you

Manaus lies inside the path of annularity, 42 km from its nearest edge, towards the south-south-east. Beyond that line the ring no longer closes. The centre line, where the ring lasts longest, runs 123 km further towards the north-north-west.

What you will see

Maximum as seen from Manaus, drawn by Novilune.

That day the Moon is slightly too far from the Earth to cover the whole Sun: at maximum it leaves a bright ring. The sky darkens noticeably but never becomes night, and eye protection remains necessary from start to finish, ring included.

The annular phase lasts 7 min 01 s, from 10:24:49 to 10:31:49; the partial phase ends at 12:33:35.

Where these figures come from

Times and geometry computed by Novilune for the point 3.1316° S, 59.9825° W (altitude 37 m), from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DE441 ephemeris, with ΔT = 69.3 s. The uncertainty on ΔT (± 6 s) shifts all the times together by a few seconds at most; atmospheric refraction is not applied (it does not change the contact times appreciably at this altitude of the Sun).

Times are given in local time in Manaus (UT -04:00).

In the app

Novilune draws this eclipse as it will be seen from Manaus — the two discs at maximum, the Moon's path, the map of the path of totality — and does the same for every new moon from 2000 BC to AD 3000, for any place on Earth, offline.
