A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 19, 1917,[1] with a magnitude of 0.4729. 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 second of four solar eclipses in 1917, with the others occurring on January 23, July 19, and December 14.

A partial eclipse was visible for parts of northern North America, Northern Europe, and North Asia.
