NASA's[1][2][3][4] eclipse catalogue gives the instant of greatest eclipse as 23:04:57 UT on 2046-02-05 (23:06:26 TD, the two separated by delta-T), from Saros series 141. Eclipse circumstances are computed from orbital mechanics, so the date and time are exact centuries ahead.Greatest eclipse falls at 23:04:57 UT on 2046-02-05, where the annular phase lasts 9 minutes 42 seconds on a path 310.1 km wide; the longest annularity anywhere on the track is 09m45.6s. The path of annularity crosses Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, California, Oregon and Idaho, and a partial eclipse is visible from Australia, Papua New Guinea and the western United States.
