A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Sunday, January 14, 2029,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8714. 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 2029, with the others occurring on June 12, July 11, and December 5.

A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of North America and Central America.
