An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, June 11, 2067, with a magnitude of 0.967. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 4.3 days before apogee (on June 16, 2067, at 4:05 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.
This solar eclipse is notable as it is the closest eclipse in Saros 138 to the subsolar point with an eclipse gamma of -0.0387.
The path of annularity will be visible from parts of Kiribati, Ecuador, northern Peru, extreme southern Colombia, and extreme western Brazil. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible for parts of Oceania, Hawaii, southern North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and western South America.

Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
