A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, January 14, 1964,[1] with a magnitude of 0.5591. 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. Partial solar eclipses occur in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
This was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 1964, with the others occurring on June 10, July 9, and December 4.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Antarctica and extreme southern South America.
