* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 0 seconds.
Timings for other events are approximate—they are included here as a rough guide to features that might be observable. The icons show the position of the Moon against the Sun at each stage.

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

During this partial solar eclipse, the Moon covers only parts of the Sun, as seen from Mawson. There are no locations on Earth where the Sun appears completely covered during this event.
