Annular solar eclipse of 6 February 2027 in Wuhan: is it visible, and the sky above you

The real sky over Wuhan, China at 7 February 2027, 00:00 local time: 3,185 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Arcturus, Capella. This is the annular solar eclipse of 6 February 2027, when the Moon leaves a ring of Sun uncovered. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.

Not visible from Wuhan. At that instant the Sun is about 73° below the horizon here, so it has already set or has not yet risen. The ring of fire crosses Chile, Argentina and the south Atlantic for up to 7m51s; South America, Antarctica and western and southern Africa see a partial eclipse. The chart beside this is the real night sky over Wuhan at the same moment.

The Moon was below the horizon over Wuhan at that moment — a new moon, 0% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Arcturus, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Betelgeuse. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (30.58°) and longitude (114.27°) of Wuhan. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
