A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Monday, July 22 and Tuesday, July 23, 2047,[1] with a magnitude of 0.3604. 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 third of four partial solar eclipses in 2047, with the others occurring on January 26, June 23, and December 16.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of southeastern Australia and New Zealand.
