Solar eclipse of April 30, 2060
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 Friday, April 30, 2060,[1] with a magnitude of 1.066. 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 18 hours after perigee (on April 29, 2060, at 15:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
The path of totality will be visible from parts of Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, eastern Burkina Faso, northwestern Nigeria, Niger, northwestern Chad, Libya, northwestern Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey, northwestern Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, northwestern Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, southern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for much of eastern Brazil, Africa, Europe, and 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.

Solar eclipses of 2058–2061
This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[4]
The partial solar eclipse on June 21, 2058 occurs in the previous lunar year eclipse set.

Saros 139
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 139, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 71 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on May 17, 1501. It contains hybrid eclipses from August 11, 1627 through December 9, 1825 and total eclipses from December 21, 1843 through March 26, 2601. There are no annular eclipses in this set. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on July 3, 2763. 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 totality will be produced by member 61 at 7 minutes, 29.22 seconds on July 16, 2186. This date is the longest solar eclipse computed between 4000 BC and AD 6000.[5] All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[6]
