Total Solar Eclipse 2028-07-22 — Sydney

About this spectacle

On 22 July 2028, a total solar eclipse will sweep across Sydney, plunging one of the world's most iconic harbour cities into sudden midwinter darkness in the middle of the day. Observers will watch the moon's shadow race across the sky, the corona flare into view around the blackened solar disc, and stars and planets emerge in the daytime. The temperature will drop noticeably, birds may fall silent, and the horizon will glow with the colours of a 360-degree sunset. Sydney's Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and waterfront will serve as dramatic foregrounds for photography. Totality lasts only a few minutes, but the partial phases before and after extend the spectacle over a couple of hours. This is a once-in-a-generation event for a major metropolitan area — no remote travel required to witness one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena.
