A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 8, 1902,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.0643. 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.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Northern Canada. This was the 76th and final event from Solar Saros 108.
