Solar eclipse of July 1, 2000

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Saturday, July 1, 2000, with a magnitude of 0.4768. 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 eclipse occurred near the south pole, and was visible from the southern tip of South America at sunset.

This was the second of four partial solar eclipses in 2000, with the others occurring on February 5, July 31, and December 25.
