A total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, November 25, 2030. Totality will be visible in Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, and Australia.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
Path[edit]
The path of totality will begin in the Atlantic Ocean. It will then pass through Namibia (serving the capital Windhoek), Botswana (serving Tsabong), and South Africa (serving Durban; also visible in parts of Lesotho). After that, it will pass through the Indian Ocean, where it will terminate in Australia (visiting the states of South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland).[1]
A partial eclipse will be visible in most of Southern Africa, East Antarctica, and Australia.

Saros 133[edit]
Solar Saros 133, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, contains 72 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on July 13, 1219. It contains annular eclipses from November 20, 1435, through January 13, 1526, with a hybrid eclipse on January 24, 1544. It has total eclipses from February 3, 1562, through June 21, 2373. The series ends at member 72 as a partial eclipse on September 5, 2499.

All eclipses in this series occurs at the Moon’s ascending node.
