Future partial solar eclipse

A partial solar eclipse will occur on July 15, 2083. 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 partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth. This will be the 72nd and final event from Solar Saros 118.
