Solar eclipse of August 10, 1915
20th-century annular solar eclipse / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, August 10, 1915,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.9853. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from the Pacific Ocean, with the only land being Haha-jima Group in Japan, where the eclipse occurred on August 11 because it is west of International Date Line.
