Partial phases of the solar eclipse of 2002 June 10 will be visible from most of Mexico
(See: Global Map in Medium Resolution and High Resolution resolution).
Furthermore, an annular eclipse will be seen at sunset along the Pacific coast of Mexico, 30 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta. A more detailed map prepared by Jay Anderson (Environment Canada) shows small villages in the zone of annular eclipse.
Under favorable weather conditions, observers on the centerline will witness a spectacular ring of fire on the horizon as the Sun sets just after annularity.
The central duration is 1 minute 7 seconds and the magnitude is 0.981.
Atmospheric refraction will actually displace the end of the path to the southeast so that the entire annular phase will occur before sunset for observes on or near the Pacific coast.
The following table lists times (in Local Standard Time) and circumstances at maximum eclipse for a number of cities in Mexico.
During the summer months, many countries switch from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time.
If your state/province/city is on Daylight Saving Time, you must add one hour to the eclipse times for your city.
For more information, visit links to Official Time and Daylight Saving Time.
Please note that times are given using the 24 hour 'military style' time.
To convert times later than 12:59 from military time to civilian time (i.e. - 'AM' and 'PM'), just subtract 12 hours from the time.
The predictions include the times of beginning, maximum and end of the eclipse, the magnitude (expressed as a decimal fraction), the altitude of the Sun during the eclipse and the duration of the eclipse from start to finish.
Cities are listed alphabetically in the following table.

Each eclipse GIF is only 31 kBytes in size, so access time should be fast.
Extreme care must be taken when looking at the Sun.
There are a number of ways to Safely View the Eclipse which you should consider.
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or through any optical device (e.g. - camera, binoculars or telescope).
There are a several types of Solar Filters designed specifically for eclipse viewing which are available from a number of filter manufacturers and distributors.
You can also use the pinhole projection method to safely watch the eclipse.
If you find problems with any of the links on this page, kindly bring them to the attention of Fred Espenak (espenak@gsfc.nasa.gov).
Definitions for columns in the table below are as follows:
Eclipse Begins - Local Time of the beginning of the eclipse.
Maximum Eclipse - Local Time of the maximum phase of the eclipse.
Eclipse Ends - Local Time of the end of the eclipse.
Mag. - Eclipse Magnitude is the fraction of Sun's diameter eclipsed by the Moon at maximum eclipse.
Sun Alt. - Altitude of Sun above horizon at maximum eclipse (in degrees).
Duration Partial Eclipse - Complete length of the eclipse from start to finish (in hours and minutes).
If the time is followed by the letter 'r', the event occurs at sunrise.
If the time is followed by the letter 's', the event occurs at sunset.
