A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, December 5, 2029,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8911. 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 will be the last of four partial solar eclipses in 2029, with the others occurring on January 14, June 12, and July 11.
A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of extreme southern Chile and Argentina and much of Antarctica.
