Total Solar Eclipse Crosses Botswana

The Moon's shadow touches down at 06:50:19 UT on 2030-11-25, and the total phase lasts up to 3 minutes 44 seconds along a path 169.3 km wide crossing Botswana, S. Africa and Australia. A partial eclipse is visible from southern Africa, southern Indian Oc., the East Indies, Australia and Antarctica.

A total solar eclipse on 2030 Nov 25, catalogued by NASA/GSFC as sequence 09576, relative number 10, of Saros series 133^[1][2][3]
Greatest Eclipse falls at 06:50:19.2 UT at 43°36.8'S 071°14.5'E, with the Sun 67.0° up, a path 169.3 km wide and a central duration of 03m43.5s^[1]
Greatest Duration comes a little later, at 06:51:53 UT at 43°43'S 072°02'E, path width 169.2 km, central duration 03m43.6s, the figure the Google-map page also gives: ‘In this case, the Greatest Duration is 03m43.6s’^[1][2]
The umbral shadow is tabulated at 120-second intervals across 95 timed rows from 05:16 UT to 08:24 UT, the central line running from 16°13.0'S 001°36.5'E at the opening limits to 26°20.6'S 151°11.7'E at the closing limits^[1]
At the path’s ends totality is far shorter — 01m30.8s over a 117 km path at the start and 01m32.1s over 118 km at the end — against 03m43.5s at greatest eclipse^[1]
The Saros 133 catalog gives the same instant in Terrestrial Dynamical Time as 2030 Nov 25 06:51:37 TD with ΔT = 78 s, gamma -0.3867, magnitude 1.0468, path width 169 km and central duration 03m44s — rounded against the path page’s 169.3 km and 03m43.5s^[1][3]
Totality can only be seen between the blue northern and southern path limits and is longest on the red central line; yellow lines mark maximum eclipse at 10-minute intervals^[2]
Predictions use the VSOP87/ELP2000-85 solar and lunar ephemerides with ΔT = 77.3 seconds, and exclude the lunar limb profile, whose corrections ‘may shift the limits of the eclipse path north or south by ~1-3 kilometers, and change the eclipse duration by ~1-3 seconds’^[1][2]
Saros 133 runs 1280.14 years over 72 solar eclipses, 46 of them total, from a partial on 1219 Jul 13 to a partial on 2499 Sep 05; this eclipse follows 2012 Nov 13 (04m02s) and precedes 2048 Dec 05 (03m28s) as the series’ durations shorten^[3]
All calculations are by Fred Espenak, NASA’s GSFC, who ‘assumes full responsibility for their accuracy’^[1][2][3]
