Everything the map is showing you
Totality over southern Africa
Namibia and Botswana open the show. Windhoek sees about 1 minute 52 seconds of totality — enough for diamond rings, corona, and that sudden desert chill — while much of South Africa's interior sits close enough that even off-path cities feel the world dim hard.
Up to 3m 44s over the Indian Ocean
Greatest eclipse (06:50:19 UTC) falls near 43.6°S 71.2°E over open ocean with about 3 minutes 44 seconds of totality and a path width of ~169 km — NASA magnitude 1.047. The umbra is compact but deep: a classic late-Saros total with a dark, sharp shadow.
Broken Hill and the Australian inland
After the ocean crossing, the path cuts across southern Australia. Broken Hill sits near the track for about 1 minute 47 seconds of totality — an outback dawn (or early-morning) spectacle where clear horizons and low humidity often reward travelers who chase the centerline.
Saros 133 — and Johannesburg's near-miss
This eclipse belongs to Saros 133. Johannesburg reaches roughly 97% obscuration without entering the path — close enough that millions will experience an eerie mid-morning twilight, and close enough that a short trip into the path is the difference between almost and absolute night.
More about this eclipse — timeline, safety & FAQ
On November 25, 2030, the Moon's umbral shadow races from southern Africa across the Indian Ocean to inland Australia — Saros 133, eclipse magnitude 1.047, with up to about 3 minutes 44 seconds of totality near greatest eclipse (06:50:19 UTC) over the southern Indian Ocean near 43.6°S 71.2°E, where the path is roughly 169 km wide. Windhoek and Broken Hill sit inside the path; Johannesburg watches a deep ~97% near-miss. 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
ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses are required for every partial phase. Only during totality — and only if you are inside the path — can you briefly look with the naked eye. Sunglasses are never enough.
Frequently asked questions
Where will the November 25, 2030 total solar eclipse be visible?
The path of totality crosses Namibia, Botswana, and parts of South Africa, then the southern Indian Ocean, and continues across southern inland Australia (including the Broken Hill region). A deep partial is visible across southern Africa, parts of the southern Indian Ocean rim, and much of Australia.
How long does totality last in November 2030?
Up to about 3 minutes 44 seconds near greatest eclipse over the southern Indian Ocean. On land: Windhoek ~1m 52s and Broken Hill ~1m 47s. Duration is shorter near the African and Australian ends of the path than at greatest eclipse.
What time does the eclipse happen where I live?
It depends on your location — morning over southern Africa, then later as the shadow crosses the ocean toward Australia. 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?
Yes for every partial phase. Only during full totality inside the path can you briefly look without protection. Always have ISO 12312-2 certified glasses ready before and after the diamond rings.
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 is not modeled.
