澳大利亚将于2028年7月22日（星期六）迎来一次日全食事件，月球将完全遮挡太阳 [1]。这次日全食将从西澳大利亚的金伯利地区开始，约在当地时间上午11点左右，随后经过北领地、昆州西南部和新州乡村地区 [1]。
日全食将直接经过悉尼地区，该市将在下午2点左右开始经历日全食，完全黑暗状态将持续约4分钟 [1]。这对悉尼具有特殊意义——这将是悉尼自1857年以来首次经历日全食 [1]。更为罕见的是，悉尼在之后的800年内都不会再经历日全食，下一次将要到3026年6月3日才会发生 [1]。
Australia will witness a total solar eclipse on Saturday, July 22, 2028, when the Moon will completely block the Sun [1]. The eclipse will commence in the Kimberley region of Western Australia at approximately 11 a.m. Australian Western Standard Time, before traversing the Northern Territory, southwest Queensland, and regional New South Wales, with the path directly crossing Sydney [1]. Sydney will experience approximately four minutes of total darkness during this astronomical event [1].
This eclipse holds particular significance for Sydney, as it will mark the first total solar eclipse visible from the city since 1857 [1]. After this occurrence, Sydney will not witness another total solar eclipse until June 3, 3026—a gap of 800 years [1]. The eclipse in Sydney is expected to commence at 2 p.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time [1]. Over the past 50 years, Australia has experienced five total solar eclipses in 1974, 1976, 2002, 2013, and 2023 [1].
