Solar eclipse of February 6, 2027
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Solar eclipse". An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Saturday, February 6, 2027,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9281. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 3.2 days after apogee (on February 3, 2027, at 13:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.[2]
The path of annularity will first pass through Chile (including the city of Castro) and Argentina (including the city of Viedma), then scraping the east coast of Uruguay (including the city of Punta del Este) and Brazil. The eclipse will then pass across the South Atlantic Ocean, terminating on the West African coast, where it will pass over the southeastern Ivory Coast (including the city of Abidjan), southern Ghana (including the capital Accra), southern Togo (including the capital Lomé), southern Benin (including Cotonou and the capital Porto Novo), and southwestern Nigeria (including Lagos). A partial eclipse will be visible in much of South America, parts of Antarctica, and much of the western half of Africa.

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 2026–2029
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 eclipses on June 12, 2029 and December 5, 2029 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.

Saros 131
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 131, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 70 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on August 1, 1125. It contains total eclipses from March 27, 1522 through May 30, 1612; hybrid eclipses from June 10, 1630 through July 24, 1702; and annular eclipses from August 4, 1720 through June 18, 2243. The series ends at member 70 as a partial eclipse on September 2, 2369. 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 was produced by member 28 at 58 seconds on May 30, 1612, and the longest duration of annularity was produced by member 50 at 7 minutes, 54 seconds on January 26, 2009. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[5]

Metonic series
The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node.
