“—” means the contact happens before sunrise or after sunset, or the city is outside the path. Computed from NASA/GSFC Besselian elements; expect agreement with NASA tables to within a few seconds.
Planning a trip for 1 June 2030
- The ring only forms inside the annular path. Outside it you see a partial eclipse. The Sun is never fully covered, so filters stay on throughout.
- Centre line gives a symmetric ring; near the edge you get a longer, lopsided ring with Baily’s beads flickering along one side.
- Check the Sun’s altitude in the table: at sunrise or sunset you need a clear, low horizon in that direction.
Full destination ideas, weather notes and a trip-planning assistant are on the eclipse travel planner.
Questions
What time is the 1 June 2030 solar eclipse?
Greatest eclipse is at 06:27 UT (Universal Time), over 56.5°N 80.1°E. Local times differ by place: use the calculator on this page for your location.
Where can I see annularity on 1 June 2030?
Annular is visible only inside a path about 250 km wide crossing Algeria, Tunisia, Greece, Turkey, Russia, n. China, Japan. Among the cities we checked, Istanbul (Türkiye) gets the longest, about 4m 32s.
How long does it last?
The longest annularity is 5m 21s near the point of greatest duration. The whole event, from first to last contact at one place, usually lasts two to three hours, with annularity a few minutes in the middle.
Do I need eclipse glasses?
Yes, the whole time. Even at maximum part of the Sun’s surface stays uncovered, which is enough to damage your eyes. Use ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector.
