A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Sunday, June 17, 1928,[1] with a magnitude of 0.0375. 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 was visible for parts of the northern Soviet Union. This is the 1st solar eclipse of Solar Saros 155, and this is the next saros cycle to begin after the partial solar eclipse of July 19, 1917 (part of Solar Saros 154).
