The countries crossed

The shadow will meet them in this order:

People's Republic of China · North Korea · South Korea · Japan

A country appears here as soon as the path touches its territory, even by a few kilometres. To find out when the next eclipse will pass over your own country, see the country-by-country table.

Before you go

An eclipse is never watched with the naked eye, and an annular eclipse is never watched without protection, not even at maximum. How to watch without burning your eyes

Where these figures come from

The shadow track, the durations and the times are computed by the chain of the Novilune app, on the DE441 ephemeris of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Nothing is copied from a catalogue. One uncertainty remains, that of the Earth's rotation: at this date it is ± 9 s, which can shift the path by 4 km from east to west.

The Novilune app draws this eclipse from the place of your choice, with its local times.
