Every eclipse to 2030, and what your city sees
Calculated 24 October 2026 with Astronomy Engine 2.1.19 (MIT licence). Times in UTC unless marked local.
There are 10 solar and 10 lunar eclipses between now and the end of 2030. For each one we worked out what 47 cities around the world get, so you can see at a glance which ones are worth planning for.
Solar eclipses
Only a total eclipse turns day into night, and only inside a narrow path. An annular eclipse leaves a bright ring of Sun, so the sky stays light. A partial eclipse takes a bite out of the Sun. All three need eclipse glasses, except during the minutes of totality itself.

Percentages are how much of the Sun’s disc is covered at most. We list a city only if the Sun is above its horizon at the time.
Lunar eclipses
A lunar eclipse is safe to watch with your eyes alone and is visible from the whole night side of the Earth, so far more people see it than a solar eclipse. You only need the Moon to be above your horizon.

How we worked it out
We used the open-source Astronomy Engine library to find every eclipse and to calculate, for each city, how much of the Sun is covered, for how long the Sun is fully covered or ringed, and whether the Moon is up during a lunar eclipse. The full method and the comparison with published figures are on how we make our numbers.
- Cities are a single point at the centre. Suburbs can see a different length, and near the edge of a path, none at all.
- Lengths on this page are not corrected the way our 2027 table is, so they can be a few seconds long. They are close enough to choose an eclipse; check a detailed local source before you choose a spot.
- Clouds, buildings and hills are not included.

- Types and dates checked against NASA, Future eclipses (2027), and National Eclipse, solar and lunar eclipse calendars (to 2030). All match.
