Eclipse
Annular solar eclipse, 26 January 2028
On 26 January 2028 the Moon passes in front of the Sun but is too far away to cover it: along a narrow track a bright ring of the Sun stays visible. Everywhere else in the shaded area the eclipse is partial.
Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses (ISO 12312-2); ordinary sunglasses do not protect your eyes.
