A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Thursday, August 21, 2036,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8622. 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 will be visible for parts of the Russian Far East, Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Western Europe, and Northwest Africa.
