A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 26, 1892, with a magnitude of 1.0591. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring only about 13 hours after perigee (on April 26, 1892, at 9:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.[1]
