Annular Solar Eclipse: April 29 2014



Although technically an annular eclipse, the annular phase of the annular solar eclipse of April 29 2014 will be visible only from a tiny area of Antarctica, from 03:52:38 UT to 08:14:28 UT.

For a central solar eclipse, this has to be the one that is least likely to be seen by anybody! However, a partial eclipse will be visible over most of Australia and the southern Indian Ocean between 03:52:38 UT and 08:14:28 UT.

More information on this eclipse may be found at Fred Espenak's site; but the following map shows the area covered by the annular eclipse:
