Partial Solar Eclipse of June 12, 2029
A partial eclipse for parts of Europe
On Tuesday, June 12, 2029, the Moon covers up to 46% of the Sun's diameter, at greatest eclipse (04:05 UT). There is no path of totality: nowhere on Earth sees more than a partial eclipse. A partial eclipse is visible from parts of Europe.
Shading: the largest part of the Sun's diameter covered while the Sun is above the horizon (eclipse magnitude), computed on a 2° grid; contours every 20%. Outside the outer line the eclipse is not visible.

Weather
We do not forecast the weather, and no one can this far ahead. Whether you see it will depend on the clouds on the day: check a local forecast a few days before and be ready to travel to a clearer sky.

Questions
Where is the partial solar eclipse of June 12, 2029 visible?
From parts of Europe. It is a partial eclipse everywhere: at most 46% of the Sun's diameter is covered.
Can I see it from the United States?
Yes, as a partial eclipse from 2 of our 520 US cities. The most is in Juneau, AK: 17% of the Sun covered.
Is it safe to look at?
Protect your eyes. A partial eclipse is never safe to look at without a solar filter, however much of the Sun is covered. Use eclipse glasses or a handheld viewer that meets the ISO 12312-2 standard, from a supplier on the American Astronomical Society's list. Sunglasses are not enough. Never look through a camera, binoculars or telescope without a proper solar filter on the front. How to watch safely
Will it be cloudy?
Nobody can say this far ahead. Check the forecast a few days before; for long-term cloud statistics along the path, see Jay Anderson's climatology at eclipsophile.com.
Eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC: NASA Eclipse Web Site, Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses and Catalog of Lunar Eclipses (Espenak & Meeus): Besselian elements, path of totality tables and lunar contact times. City times are computed by us from those Besselian elements with the standard method (Meeus, Elements of Solar Eclipses), using a current estimate of ΔT (Earth-rotation correction) instead of the Canon's older extrapolation; they agree with NASA's own calculator to 0.1 s and with an independent Skyfield/JPL DE440 computation to within 15 s. Times are for sea level and ignore the lunar limb profile (a few seconds near the path edges). City coordinates: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
