- The totality phase will last about 4.5 minutes in Mexico, slightly shorter in the USA and will shorten on the way to Canada, where it will last 3.5 minutes.
- This year's solar eclipse will also be amazing because when it is completely obscured, it will be possible to see almost all the planets visible to the naked eye.
- A more interesting and longer eclipse will occur in 2027, when it will pass through the northern part of Africa, including Egypt. – The maximum eclipse will be visible mainly over the Nile River. There, the maximum phase of the eclipse will last for 6.5 minutes
- In Poland, the last total eclipse was seen in 1954 (Śławki and Szejny), and the next will be in 2135. Earlier, in 2075 and 2093, we will have annular eclipses in Poland.

The eclipse will begin in the Pacific Ocean near the Kiribati islands. A few minutes after 12 noon local time (in Poland it will be after 8 p.m.) you will be able to observe them from Mexico. After 1:30 pm, it will appear over the state of Texas, USA, and then in other American states, including: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York State, Vermont and Maine. It will then be visible along the Canadian border.
The exact scope of the eclipse can be found, among others, on: On NASA websites.
“The eclipse will end at 21:35:55 (Polish time – PAP note) in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. This will allow you to observe its partial shape, for example in Iceland. Residents of Ireland and part of Spain (will be able – PAP note ) on seeing a very shallow partial eclipse just before sunset. However, this would be a very risky sport,” says Karol Wójcicki in the blog “With Your Head in the Stars.”
As Damian Gablica, deputy director of the Silesian Planetarium, told Science magazine in Poland, the upcoming solar eclipse will be a real treat for astronomy fans, including: because of its length. — The totality phase will last about 4.5 minutes in Mexico, slightly shorter in the USA and will shorten on the way to Canada, where it will last 3.5 minutes. – Describes the expert.
A more interesting and longer eclipse will occur in 2027, when it will pass through the northern part of Africa, including Egypt. – The maximum eclipse will be visible mainly over the Nile River. It was announced that the maximum phase of the eclipse will last for 6.5 minutes.
Length of a solar eclipse. Who determines?
The length of the eclipse depends on the distance between the moon and the sun from the observation location. – When the Moon is closer to the Earth, that is, it appears the largest in the sky and the Earth is farthest from the Sun, it will have a larger disk than the Sun and will cover the star for a longer period – describes Damian Gablica.
This year's solar eclipse will also be amazing because when it is completely obscured, it will be possible to see almost all the planets visible to the naked eye.
– When the Sun is covered by the Moon, Venus will be visible to the right, west of the Sun. Its magnitude will reach 4, which means it will be a very bright spot in the sky. Jupiter, on the other hand, will be twice as far away as Venus, and will shine only slightly faintly. At a similar distance to Jupiter, but on the side of Venus, Mars and Saturn will also be visible – close together. Mercury will also be visible nearby – as Nauka w Polsce's interlocutor describes.
A solar eclipse can occur when the Moon lies between the Earth and the Sun and completely or partially covers the solar disk. In this configuration the moon is at new moon, but not every new moon sees an eclipse, because Earth's natural moon's orbit is slightly tilted relative to the plane of our planet's orbit and the moon is usually in the sky above or below the solar disk.
The total eclipse is the most spectacular, but – unfortunately – it can only be seen in a very narrow band with a maximum width of 270 km, and on average it is about 100 km. Far from it, only a partial eclipse can be seen.
eclipse. How do you prepare for monitoring?
For any given point on Earth, total eclipses are very rare. In Poland, the last total eclipse was seen in 1954 (Śławki and Szejny), and the next will be in 2135. Earlier, in 2075 and 2093, we will have annular eclipses in Poland.
People who will have the opportunity to view the eclipse live should remember to prepare appropriately. Regular sunglasses are not enough. Looking directly at the sun can seriously damage your eyesight. For example, there are special glasses with a certified filter for observing a solar eclipse available on the market, and Mylar solar filters can also be used. However, the safest way is to view the image of the Sun on the screen using a telescope or binoculars, for example.
