A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, January 16, 2037,[1] with a magnitude of 0.7049. 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.
A partial eclipse will be visible for parts of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
