A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Sunday, December 12, 1909,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.5424. 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.
This event was visible as a partial solar eclipse across Antarctica and New Zealand.
