The Eclipse (3 November 1994)

Eclipse Path.

The totality of this eclipse begins about 12:01 UT November 3rd.

The journey begins at sunrise: the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru. The umbral shadow landfalls near Mollendo, passes through the Peruvian city of Tacna, then near the Chilean port city of Arica. It continues along the Chilean and Bolivian altiplano, through Putre, and through the mining city of Potosi.

The shadow continues on through the Catamarca province of Argentina, and will cover much of Paraguay. It then passes over the falls at Iguazu and on into the southern part of Brazil, reaching the point of greatest eclipse at about 13:39 UT over the Atlantic Ocean, then on through South Africa and Madagascar

Path through the Ecliptic.
