Solar eclipse of February 17, 2026

Wikipedia Overview

Annular solar eclipse

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, with a magnitude of 0.963. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. The Moon's apparent diameter was near the average diameter because it occurred 6.8 days after apogee and 7.5 days before perigee.
