Solar eclipse of February 5, 2000

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Saturday, February 5, 2000, with a magnitude of 0.5795. 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. It was only visible over Antarctica.

This was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 2000, with the others occurring on July 1, July 31, and December 25.
