Information about today's annular solar eclipse computed by Fred Espenak at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center: https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot2001/SE2026Feb17A.GIF
An annular solar eclipse takes place today visible only from parts of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. A partial solar eclipse will be visible from parts of southeastern Africa and the Indian Ocean.
If you're in Europe, Asia, Australasia, or the Americas (except the extreme southern tip of South America around Cape Horn), you will see nothing. So don't bother looking.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible from the southern half of South America, much of the Pacific Ocean and part of Antarctica. A partial eclipse will be visible from somewhere on the Earth from 15h 43m to 21h 47m UTC.
From this track, the Moon will cover most of the Sun, but a narrow ring of the solar surface will remain visible around the edge of the Moon's disc. An annular eclipse will take place somewhere on the Earth's surface from 16h 50m to 20h 39m UTC.
