A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, September 30, 1913,[1][2][3][4] with a magnitude of 0.8252. 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.
