Solar eclipse of October 24, 2060
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Solar eclipse". An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Sunday, October 24, 2060,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9277. 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 18 hours before apogee (on October 25, 2060, at 1:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.[2]
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of southern Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, the Annobón Natural Reserve, Angola, northeastern Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of eastern Brazil, Africa, and Antarctica.

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. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.

October 24 Descending node (new moon) |

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.

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 descending node.
