A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Thursday, February 5, 2065,[1] with a magnitude of 0.9123. 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 first of four partial solar eclipses in 2065, with the others occurring on July 3, August 2, and December 27.

The partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of North Africa, West Africa, Europe, and Central Asia.
