A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Saturday, April 30, 2022,[1][2][3][4] with a magnitude of 0.6396. 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 eclipse was visible in parts of southern and central South America and Antarctica.
