Solar eclipse of January 23, 1917

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, January 23, 1917, with a magnitude of 0.7254. 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 first of four solar eclipses in 1917, with the others occurring on June 19, July 19, and December 14.
