A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Monday, April 10 and Tuesday, April 11, 2051,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9849. 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.
The umbral shadow of the Moon will pass just above the North Pole. It will be the largest partial solar eclipse in 21st century.[2]
The maximal phase of the partial eclipse (0.98) will be recorded in the Barents Sea. The partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of Asia, Alaska, and western Canada.
