Clear skies.

- Fred Espenak

"The black body of the Moon standing out, a huge globe, in sinister relief between Sun and Earth, the sudden outflashing glory and radiance of the pearly corona ... the scarlet prominences rising from the surface of the hidden Sun...Once seen it is a phenomenon never to be forgotten." - Isabel Lewis in A Handbook of Solar Eclipses (1924)

Global Map Animations of Solar Eclipses: 2022 - 2030

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 animations show the path of the Moon's large penumbral and smaller umbral shadows as they sweep across a global map of Earth.

Animations are available in three sizes/resolutions: small (300 x 300 pixels), medium (400 x 400 pixels), and large (800 x 800 pixels). They can be viewed through the links below each thumbnail.

These animations may be freely used through Creative Commons. You may use and distribute these eclipse animations when accompanied by the following attribution: "Global Map Animation of Solar Eclipse courtesy of Michael Zeiler (GreatAmericanEclipse.com) and Fred Espenak (EclipseWise.com)".

Central Solar Eclipses: 2021 to 2030

The path of every central solar eclipse (total, annular, and hybrid) from 2021 to 2030 is plotted on the world map (equidistant cylindrical projection). The central paths of total eclipses are shaded blue, while annular eclipses are shaded red. For hybrid eclipses, part of the path is shaded blue (total), and part is shaded red (annular). Major cities are plotted as black dots, scaled by population size.
