A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Sunday, February 3, 1935,[1] with a magnitude of 0.739. 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 second of five solar eclipses in 1935, with the others occurring on January 5, June 30, July 30, and December 25. The next time this will occur is 2206.
A partial eclipse was visible for most of North America.
