Solar eclipse of December 16, 2047

A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, December 16, 2047, with a magnitude of 0.8816. 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 will be the last of four partial solar eclipses in 2047, with the others occurring on January 26, June 23, and July 22.
