The Moon passes in front of the Sun while it is too far from the Earth to cover it all: inside a narrow path a ring of sunlight is left around it. Around the path, a much wider part of the world sees a partial eclipse.
Annular along a path across Australia, the Tasman Sea, New Zealand and the Pacific; partial over Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica.

Times are in your own time zone. Drag the globe to turn it; the slider moves the eclipse.
Times are UTC. A lunar eclipse happens at the same instant everywhere; a solar eclipse reaches each place at its own time, given below.
None of the cities this site covers lies inside the path, where the annular phase is seen. Those below see a partial eclipse.
33 of the cities this site covers see something of this eclipse; these are all of them. Times are local to each city.

Looking at the Sun without protection damages the eye, eclipsed or not. Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose (ISO 12312-2) whenever any part of the Sun is showing; sunglasses are not enough. In this eclipse some of the Sun is showing from start to end, everywhere.
With the app
This page tells you when to look. The app tells you again when it matters, and shows you where in your own sky.
Annular along a path across Australia, the Tasman Sea, New Zealand and the Pacific; partial over Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica.
The Moon’s shadow first touches the Earth at 20:20 UTC and leaves it at 01:48 UTC. The eclipse is at its greatest at 23:04 UTC, over the Pacific. When you see it depends on where you are: each city’s page gives its own times.
At most 1 min 23 s, on the middle of the path over the Pacific, where the path is about 30 km wide. It is shorter towards the edges of the path and towards its two ends.
Only through eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose, from the first moment to the last. Some of the Sun is showing throughout, and sunglasses are not enough.
