A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Thursday, March 28 and Friday, March 29, 1968,[1] with a magnitude of 0.899. 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 eastern Oceania and Antarctica.
