A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, October 15, 2069,[1] with a magnitude of 0.5298. 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.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible for much of Antarctica.
