A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Thursday, December 3 and Friday, December 4, 1964,[1] with a magnitude of 0.7518. 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 was the last of four partial solar eclipses in 1964, with the others occurring on January 14, June 10, and July 9.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Northeast Asia, southwest Alaska, and Hawaii.
