Star Map of Annular Solar Eclipse of March 20 2053

A fascinating aspect of a total solar eclipse is that, during the totality phase, the sky becomes dark and it is possible to see the brightest stars and planets. Since the totality phase is brief, it's helpful to know which celestial objects to look for.

This star map shows the location in the sky of the Moon, the Sun and the planets at the time of maximum eclipse as observed from . The portion of the sky represented in this sky chart is 50°x25°. Our Online Planetarium offers a more complete and interactive tool to explore the stars, contellations and planets that what will be visible during the totality phase across the full sky.

Eclipse Terminology

Magnitude. The Magnitude of a Solar Eclipse is defined as the fraction of the diameter of the sun that is covered by the disc of the Moon at the time of maximum eclipse.

Greatest Eclipse Point. In simple terms, this can be thought of the point on Earth having the best visibility conditions in terms of coverage of the disk of the Sun (i.e. magnitude) and duration. This definition is not 100% precise, a more formal and precise definition can be found on Fred Espenak's eclipse website.
Local Cistumstances. The Local Circumstances of a Solar Eclipse are the computed local times at which the eclipse key events, such as first contact, start of total eclipse etc., occur.
