A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, August 3, 2054,[1] with a magnitude of 0.0655. 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 partial solar eclipse will be visible for a very small part of Antarctica. This event will be the 71st and final event in Solar Saros 117.
