A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Sunday, August 19 and Monday, August 20, 1906,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.3147. 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.[4]
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Northern Russia, Alaska, Western Canada, and the Pacific Northwest.
