As of today, next: November 25, 2030. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
A total solar eclipse will pass over parts of southeastern Africa in 2030, with the path of totality crossing near Durban.
During totality the Moon fully blocks the Sun, causing daytime darkness, the solar corona to become visible, and a rapid change in temperature and light.
This is a precisely scheduled astronomical event visible only along a narrow corridor on Earth.
