Solar eclipse of December 13, 1936

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Sunday, December 13 and Monday, December 14, 1936, with a magnitude of 0.9349. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from Australia, New Zealand on December 14 (Monday), and Oeno Island in Pitcairn Islands on December 13 (Sunday).
