Introduction
The Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 is visible from the following geographic regions:
- Partial Eclipse: south Africa, south Indian Ocean, East Indies, Australia, Antarctica
- Total Eclipse: Botswana, South Africa, Australia
The map to the right depicts the geographic regions of eclipse visibility. Click on the map to enlarge it. For an explanation of the features appearing in the map, see Key to Solar Eclipse Maps.
The instant of greatest eclipse takes place on 2030 Nov 25 at 06:51:37 TD (06:50:23 UT1). This is 0.6 days before the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Scorpius. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of 1335.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 133 and is number 46 of 72 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node. The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma decreases.
The total solar eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 is followed two weeks later by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 2030 Dec 09.
These eclipses all take place during a single eclipse season.
The eclipse predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 74.2 seconds for this eclipse.

Global Map Animation of Solar Eclipse
Michael Zeiler GreatAmericanEclipse.com and
Fred Espenak EclipseWise.com
have created a series of eclipse animations - one for every solar eclipse during the 21st Century.
The animation of the Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 shows the path of the Moon's shadows as they sweep across a global map of Earth (an orthographic projection). The vantage point of the animation is as seen from the Moon. The daylight hemisphere of Earth then faces the Moon and the lunar shadows appear perfectly circular with no distorted projection effects as they race across Earth. Another consequence of this viewing geometry is that the Moon's shadows move across the disk of Earth in a straight line.
The Moon's umbral shadow appears as a small black disk and tracks along the path of totality (yellow strip). The much larger penumbral shadow is lightly shaded and is outlined with a solid black edge. A partial eclipse is visible from within the penumbra, while a total eclipse is visible inside the umbra.
The map to the right shows a single frame from the medium size animation for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 . In the upper left corner is the type of eclipse and the eclipse date. To the upper right is the Universal Time. The lower left corner displays the instantaneous duration of totality. To the lower right is the credit for the animation.
Animations for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 are available in three sizes/resolutions: small, medium, and large. They can be viewed through the following links:
- Small Animation (size 300 x 300 pixels)
- Medium Animation (size 400 x 400 pixels)
- Large Animation (size 800 x 800 pixels)

Eclipse Predictions
Predictions for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 were generated using the JPL DE405 solar and lunar ephemerides. The lunar coordinates were calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass. The predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 74.2 seconds for this eclipse.
