Solar eclipse of June 21, 1982

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, June 21, 1982, with a magnitude of 0.6168. 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. Occurring only 7 minutes before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was completely larger.

This was the second of four partial solar eclipses in 1982, with the others occurring on January 25, July 20, and December 15.
