Total solar eclipse to darken Sydney on July 22, 2028
Mark your calendars: on July 22, 2028, Sydney will go dark for a few minutes during its first total solar eclipse since 1857.
The Moon will completely block the Sun, turning day into night across iconic spots like the Opera House.
The eclipse path kicks off at Christmas Island, sweeps across Australia, and wraps up in New Zealand.

Eclipse fans—this is huge!
