An annularsolar eclipse will occur at the Moon'sascending node of orbit on Wednesday, January 26, 2028,[1] with amagnitude of 0.9208. Asolar eclipse occurs when theMoon passes betweenEarth and theSun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon'sapparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like anannulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 2 days beforeapogee (on January 28, 2028, at 15:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.[2]
The path of annularity will pass throughEcuador,Peru, northernBrazil, andFrench Guiana. It will then travel across theAtlantic Ocean and end in southernPortugal (including the wholeMadeira Islands), northernMorocco, and southernSpain. A partial eclipse will be visible over much of central and northernSouth America,Central America, theCaribbean, easternNorth America andWestern Europe, andWest Africa.

This eclipse is part of aneclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by afortnight.

This eclipse is a member of asemester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternatingnodes of the Moon's orbit.[4]
The partial solar eclipses onJune 12, 2029 andDecember 5, 2029 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.

This eclipse is a part ofSaros series 141, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 70 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on May 19, 1613. It contains annular eclipses from August 4, 1739 through October 14, 2640. There are no hybrid or total eclipses in this set. The series ends at member 70 as a partial eclipse on June 13, 2857. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is oneexeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 20 at 12 minutes, 9 seconds onDecember 14, 1955. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’sascending node of orbit.[5]

This eclipse is a part of atritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135synodic months (≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with theanomalistic month (period of perigee), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles (≈ 33 years minus 3 months) come close (≈ 434.044 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
