Everything the map is showing you
A Mediterranean morning ring
Few annular tracks lace so many famous coasts in one day. Malta sees about 1 minute 28 seconds of ring; Athens about 4 minutes 2 seconds; Istanbul about 4 minutes 32 seconds. For southern Europe it is a bright late-spring morning that suddenly wears a perfect solar annulus — glasses on for every second.
Up to 5m 21s over Siberia
Greatest eclipse (06:27:56 UTC) falls near 56.5°N 80.1°E over Russia with about 5 minutes 21 seconds of annularity and a path width of ~250 km — NASA magnitude 0.9443. The Moon covers only ~94% of the sun's diameter, so a brilliant ring always remains and the sky dims without ever going dark.
Sapporo's East Asian finale
The antumbra races across China and ends the land track over northern Japan. Sapporo sees about 4 minutes 18 seconds of ring — one of the best-placed major cities on the Asian end of the path, and a rare chance for Hokkaido to host a central eclipse with the sun still comfortably high.
Saros 128
This eclipse belongs to Saros 128. It is one of the great mid-latitude annular events of the early 2030s: a continuous ribbon of ring from Maghreb beaches to Japanese rooftops, with deep partials across much of Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia for everyone just outside the path.
More about this eclipse — timeline, safety & FAQ
On June 1, 2030, the Moon's antumbral shadow draws a long ring of fire from North Africa across the Mediterranean, the Black Sea region, Russia and Kazakhstan, then on through China to a finale over northern Japan — Saros 128, eclipse magnitude 0.9443, with up to about 5 minutes 21 seconds of annularity near greatest eclipse (06:27:56 UTC) around 56.5°N 80.1°E, where the path is roughly 250 km wide. Athens, Istanbul, Malta, and Sapporo all sit in the ring. Every line on this map is real NASA geometry, and every time it gives you is computed from NASA's published eclipse elements for your exact spot.

Looking at it safely
An annular eclipse is never safe to watch with the naked eye — not even during the ring. The exposed ring of sun is as dangerous as any other direct sunlight, so ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses stay on from the first bite to the last, everywhere on Earth. Sunglasses are never enough.
Frequently asked questions
Where will the June 1, 2030 annular solar eclipse be visible?
The path of annularity crosses Algeria and Tunisia, Malta, Greece and western Turkey, then Russia and Kazakhstan, continuing through China to northern Japan (including Sapporo). A partial eclipse is visible across much of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Asia.
How long does the ring last in June 2030?
Up to about 5 minutes 21 seconds near greatest eclipse over Russia. On the path: Malta ~1m 28s, Athens ~4m 02s, Istanbul ~4m 32s, and Sapporo ~4m 18s. Duration peaks inland near the greatest-eclipse point.
What time does the eclipse happen where I live?
It depends on your location — this is a morning-to-afternoon track from North Africa toward East Asia. Search your city or tap the map above for exact local start, maximum, and end times from NASA's eclipse elements.
Do I need eclipse glasses for an annular eclipse?
Yes — for every second of it. Unlike a total eclipse, an annular eclipse has no safe naked-eye phase: part of the sun's surface is always exposed. ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses are required for the entire event, including maximum ring.
How accurate are the times on this map?
Contact times are computed from NASA GSFC Besselian elements (Fred Espenak) and are typically accurate to within a few seconds. Local terrain and your exact horizon are not modeled.
