Star & Planet FinderEclipses›Solar eclipses›November 25, 2030
The Moon covers the Sun completely for those inside a narrow path, and day turns to twilight for a few minutes. Around the path, a much wider part of the world sees a partial eclipse.
Total along a path across Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia and the Coral Sea; partial over Africa, 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.
Of the cities this site covers, these see the totality. 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. Inside the path, the glasses come off only while the Sun is completely covered, and go back on at the first flash of sunlight.
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.
Total along a path across Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia and the Coral Sea; partial over Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica.
The Moon’s shadow first touches the Earth at 04:16 UTC and leaves it at 09:23 UTC. The eclipse is at its greatest at 06:50 UTC, over the Indian Ocean. When you see it depends on where you are: each city’s page gives its own times.
At most 3 min 46 s, on the middle of the path over the Indian Ocean, where the path is about 171 km wide. It is shorter towards the edges of the path and towards its two ends.
Of the cities this site covers: Durban (2 min 28 s), Pietermaritzburg (2 min 21 s).
Only through eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose, at every moment that any of the Sun is showing. The one exception is totality itself, inside the path, when the Sun is completely covered.
