A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, November 25, 2030. Totality will be visible in Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, and Australia.

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.

Path edit

The path of totality will begin in the Atlantic Ocean. It will then pass through Namibia (serving the capital Windhoek), Botswana (serving Tsabong), and South Africa (serving Durban; also visible in parts of Lesotho). After that, it will pass through the Indian Ocean, where it will terminate in Australia (visiting the states of South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland).^[1]

A partial eclipse will be visible in most of Southern Africa, East Antarctica, and Australia.
