Solar Eclipses: 2031 - 2040

Fred Espenak

Introduction

A concise summary of all solar eclipses from 2031 through 2040 is presented here in four ways. The first is a World Map showing the path of every central solar eclipse (total, annular, and hybrid). The second is a series of Global Maps showing the geographic regions of visibility for each eclipse. The third is a series of Global Map Animations showing the Moon's shadows sweeping across Earth for each eclipse. The forth is a Table listing the primary characteristics of each solar eclipse. Near the bottom of the page are a series of Links for more on solar eclipses.

World Map of Central Solar Eclipses: 2031 through 2040

The path of every central solar eclipse (total, annular, and hybrid) from 2031 through 2040 is plotted on the world map (equidistant cylindrical projection). The central paths of total eclipses are shaded blue, while annular eclipses are shaded red. For hybrid eclipses, part of the path is shaded blue (total), and part is shaded red (annular). Major cities are plotted as black dots, scaled by population size.

Global Maps of Solar Eclipses: 2031 - 2040

The maps below offer a concise summary of all solar eclipses from 2031 through 2040 . Each map depicts the geographic region of visibility for a single eclipse. For central eclipses, the total or annular path is plotted in either blue (total) or red (annular). Click on an eclipse map to link to the EclipseWise Prime Page with complete details about that eclipse, including a larger version of the map. Visit Key to Solar Eclipse Maps for a detailed explanation of these maps.

Below each map is the link Google Eclipse Map. Click on this to see the eclipse path plotted on an interactive Google Map.

Global Map Animations of Solar Eclipses: 2031 - 2040

Michael Zeiler GreatAmericanEclipse.com and Fred Espenak EclipseWise.com have created a series of eclipse animations - one for every solar eclipse during the 21st Century.

The animations show the path of the Moon's shadows as they sweep across a global map of Earth (an orthographic projection). The vantage point of the animations is as seen from the Moon. The daylight hemisphere of Earth then faces the Moon and the lunar shadows appear perfectly circular with no distorted projection effects as they race across Earth. Another consequence of this viewing geometry is that the Moon's shadows move across the disk of Earth in a straight line.

For all eclipses, the Moon's large, pale penumbral shadow appears as a lightly shaded circle and is outlined with a solid black edge. For Total, Annular, and Hybrid eclipses, the Moon's much smaller inner shadow (either umbra or antumbral) appears as a tiny black disk and tracks along the path of totality or annularity (yellow strip). A partial eclipse is visible from within the penumbra, while a total or annular eclipse is visible inside the umbra or antumbra.

Each animation includes important information in the four corners. In the upper left corner is the type of eclipse and the eclipse date. To the upper right is the Universal Time. The lower left corner displays the instantaneous duration of totality or annularity (not used for partial eclipses). To the lower right is the credit for the animation.

Animations are available in three sizes/resolutions: small (300 x 300 pixels), medium (400 x 400 pixels), and large (800 x 800 pixels). They can be viewed through the links below each thumbnail.

Table of Solar Eclipses: 2031 through 2040

A concise summary of all solar eclipses from 2031 through 2040 is presented in the table below. The first column gives the Calendar Date of the instant of greatest eclipse. The second column TD of Greatest Eclipse is the Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center. The third column lists the Eclipse Type which is either Total, Annular, Hybrid or Partial.

Eclipses recur over the Saros cycle, a period of approximately 18 years 11 days. Each eclipse belongs to the Saros Series shown in column 4. The Eclipse Magnitude gives the fraction of the Sun's diameter obscured at the instant of greatest eclipse (column 5). For total and annular eclipses, the Central Duration gives the length of the eclipse as seen from the central line at greatest eclipse (column 6). Finally, the Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility provides a brief description of where each eclipse will be seen. Countries and regions within the path of total or annular eclipses are listed in italics inside [ ] brackets.

The eclipse date (first column) links to the EclipseWise Prime Page for the eclipse. This page features a map showing the geographic region of eclipse visibility as well as detailed predictions, Besellian elements and links to additional information about the eclipse.

The Key to Solar Eclipse Decade Table contains a more detailed description of each item in the table.
