A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, July 13, 2037, with a magnitude of 1.0413. 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. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 2.6 days before perigee (on July 15, 2037, at 17:50 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.
Totality will be visible from parts of Australia (including the center of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, as well as Geraldton, Western Australia) and New Zealand. A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of Indonesia, Australia, and Oceania.
