There are generally two solar eclipses per year, and two lunar eclipses per year. The next solar eclipse will happen on January 26, 2009. It will be an "annular" eclipse; the Moon will be near its apogee (farthest point from Earth in its orbit) and will not completely cover the Sun. This is sometimes called a "ring of fire" eclipse.

The eclipse will be (was) visible along a line from South Africa to Indonesia. From South Africa or India, it will be visible as a partial eclipse.
