Total Solar Eclipse 2028

On July 22, 2028, a total solar eclipse will occur in Australia and New Zealand. The maximum duration of totality for this eclipse will be 5 minutes and 10 seconds. The map below shows the path of totality over Australia and New Zealand.

The central line of the path of the eclipse will cross the Australian from the Kimberley region in the NW and continue in a south-easterly direction through Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, close to the towns of Wyndham, Kununurra, Tennant Creek, Birdsville, Bourke and Dubbo, and continuing on through the centre of Sydney, where the eclipse will have a duration of over three minutes. It will also cross Queenstown and Dunedin, New Zealand.

Totality will also be viewable from two of Australia's external territories: Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of Southeast Asia, Australia, and Oceania.

This is the first time Sydney will experience a total solar eclipse since March 26, 1857 and will be the last until June 3, 2858.

To experience the total phase of the eclipse, you must be located within the path of totality represented on the map below. Areas outside the path of totality will get a partial solar eclipse only.
