Solar eclipse of April 30, 2041
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Solar eclipse". A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 30, 2041,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0189. 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. Occurring about 3.75 days after perigee (on April 26, 2041, at 17:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
Path description
The path of totality will begin in the South Atlantic Ocean before making landfall at Luanda, the capital of Angola. From there, the path will cross the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda (where totality will be visible in the northern portions of the capital Kampala), Kenya, and Somalia. The path will then exit Africa and end over the Indian Ocean.[3]
A partial solar eclipse will also be visible over much of eastern South America, Africa, Antarctica, the Middle East, and South Asia.

Eclipse season
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight.

Saros 129
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 129, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 80 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on October 3, 1103. It contains annular eclipses from May 6, 1464 through March 18, 1969; hybrid eclipses from March 29, 1987 through April 20, 2023; and total eclipses from April 30, 2041 through July 26, 2185. The series ends at member 80 as a partial eclipse on February 21, 2528. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 34 at 5 minutes, 10 seconds on October 4, 1698, and the longest duration of totality will be produced by member 58 at 3 minutes, 43 seconds on June 25, 2131. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[6]
