The path of annularity
Live shadowThe band is where the Moon sits entirely inside the Sun's disc — the "ring of fire" — the Moon's antumbra races along it north-east at around 1,400 mph, and the glowing marker rides it at the shadow's real-time position. Everywhere else sees a partial. The ring is never safe to view without eclipse glasses. Use the location tool above and your pin drops here.

⚠️
Never look without protection
A partial eclipse is never safe to view with the naked eye. Use certified solar eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2) or projection. During an annular eclipse the Sun is never fully covered — the "ring of fire" is blinding, so glasses stay on the entire time. Full safety guide →
