A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Friday, May 11, 2040,[1] with a magnitude of 0.5306. 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 will be visible for parts of Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, and Antarctica.
