A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, November 23, 1946,[1] with a magnitude of 0.7758. 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 last of four partial solar eclipses in 1946, with the others occurring on January 3, May 30, and June 29.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and northern South America.
