The Moon’s shadow
across Earth
Explore every solar eclipse across two centuries — from first contact to the last.
Timeline
Interactive solar eclipse paths from 1926 to 2126
Eclipse Atlas maps total, annular, hybrid and partial solar eclipses across a rotatable 3D Earth. Select an eclipse to follow the central shadow path through time, or choose a city to calculate the fraction of the Sun covered at that location.
The timeline spans the complete global eclipse from first to last penumbral contact. Local circumstances include the selected-time obscuration, maximum obscuration, and local beginning and ending times. Eclipse event parameters are based on NASA/GSFC data, while topocentric Sun and Moon positions are calculated with Astronomy Engine.
