A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, March 7, 1989,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8268. 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 Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, the western and central United States, northwest Mexico, and Greenland.
