Solar eclipse of September 12, 2072
Introduction A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, September 12, 2072.A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.This is the first of 55 central eclipses of Solar Saros 155.The first will be in 2072 and the last will be in 3046.This is the first of 56 umbral eclipses of Solar Saros 155.The first will be in 2072 and the last will be in 3064.The total phase of eclipse will be only in Siberia in Russia.
