A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Saturday, January 5 and Sunday, January 6, 2019,[1][2] with a magnitude of 0.7145. 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.
The eclipse was visible in Northeast Asia and southwestern Alaska.
