World map of the solar eclipse of June 11, 2048

The annular solar eclipse of June 11, 2048 largely takes place over North America , Europe , Russia , North Africa and western Asia as well as the Arctic and the North Atlantic . Central America and the Caribbean experience the sunrise solar eclipse. The maximum of the eclipse is in the Atlantic about 200 km southeast of Iceland; the duration of the annular shape there is 4 minutes and 58 seconds.

course

The Annularity Zone begins at sunrise in the US state of Kansas and moves northwest through Iowa , Wisconsin, and Michigan to Canada. There, Ontario , Québec and Newfoundland are swept over before the zone reaches the Atlantic. The southern tip of Greenland is also in the annular zone, as is the southern half of Iceland and the northern coast of the Faroe Islands . In the early afternoon, Central Norway and Central Sweden , the densely populated parts of both countries, will experience the ring shape. The ring-shaped zone crosses the Baltic Sea and the Baltic States, with only Latvia being almost completely covered, as well as northern Lithuania and southern Estonia . The further path of the annular shape now runs along the borders between Russia and Belarus or the Ukraine before the Caspian Sea is reached. The rest of the ring-shaped zone stretches along the border between Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan . The eclipse ends at sunset in Afghanistan , with small parts of Tajikistan and Pakistan still being reached. For this eclipse, different assumptions of the Delta T (NASA: 90.7 s, Calsky: 71.6 s) when calculating the concrete course of the zone, result from the difference of approx. 19 s, deviations of up to 8 kilometers. As a result, downtown Milwaukee is within the toroidal path for NASA, but outside the path for Calsky.
