A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Sunday, August 31, 1913,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.1513. 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 eastern Canada and Greenland.
