Solar eclipse of August 12, 1942

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, August 12, 1942, with a magnitude of 0.0561. 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 72nd of 72 solar eclipses in Saros 115 and the final eclipse.
