A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, June 27, 1824, with a magnitude of 1.0578. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 1.9 days before perigee (on June 28, 1824, at 20:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.^[1]

The path of totality was visible from parts of modern-day China, South Korea, North Korea, and Japan. A partial solar eclipse was also visible for parts of East Asia, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and North America.
