List of solar eclipses in the 21st century

Of these, two annular and one total eclipse will be non-central,[1] in the sense that the very center (axis) of the Moon's shadow will miss the Earth (for more information see gamma).

The predictions given here are by Fred Espenak of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

[1] At this point, the longest measured duration in which the Moon completely covered the Sun, known as totality, was during the solar eclipse of July 22, 2009.

This total solar eclipse had a maximum duration of 6 minutes and 38.86 seconds.

The longest annular solar eclipse of the 21st century took place on January 15, 2010, with a duration of 11 minutes and 7.8 seconds.
