A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, September 11, 2007,[1][2] with a magnitude of 0.7507. 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 central and southern South America, the Antarctic Peninsula, and east Antarctica.
