Solar eclipse of October 31, 1902
20th-century partial solar eclipse / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Friday, October 31, 1902,[1][2] with a magnitude of 0.696. 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. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
