A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, October 7, 1801, with a magnitude of 0.3505. 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 was visible for parts of modern-day New Zealand and Antarctica.[1]
