Today’s hybrid solar eclipse will take place across the Indian Ocean, north-west coast of Australia, Timor-Leste, West Papua and the Pacific today, with the spectacle partially visible across two continents.

Everyone else within five to six thousand kilometres of this will be able to view a partial eclipse.
That includes the whole Australian continent, Mauritius, Réunion, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Guam, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Northern Meriana Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, Tuvalu, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna, Samoa, American Samoa, Tokelau and Nieu.
