Solar eclipses in 2031: dates, types and visibility

There are 2 solar eclipses in 2031: 1 annular, 1 hybrid. The table preserves NASA/GSFC’s published date, greatest-eclipse time, Saros series, magnitude, duration and broad visibility wording.

2031 solar eclipse dates: quick answer

  1. Annular solar eclipse; greatest eclipse 07:16:04 TD.
  2. Hybrid solar eclipse; greatest eclipse 21:07:30 TD.

Protect your eyes. Except during the brief total phase of a total eclipse, looking directly at the Sun without specialized solar viewing protection is unsafe. Partial and annular eclipses have no safe naked-eye phase. Follow NASA’s eclipse viewing safety guidance.
