A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit between Sunday, July 30 and Monday, July 31, 2000,[1] with a magnitude of 0.6034. 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 was the third of four partial solar eclipses in 2000, with the others occurring on February 5, July 1, and December 25.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of northern Russia, northeastern Scandinavia, Alaska, western Canada, Greenland, and the western United States.
