A partial solar eclipse will occur on October 24, 2098.

A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

This minor eclipse is the first solar eclipse of Saros cycle 164. It is the shallowest solar eclipse of the 21st century; at best, in a remote location within the Southern Ocean the moon will block out 0.56% of the sun's diameter with the sun barely above the horizon. Gamma is equal to −1.5407, which is also farther from zero than any other solar eclipse in the century.

There will not be a shallower partial eclipse until August 23, 2883.
