Solar eclipse of September 11, 2007
A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, September 11, 2007,[1] with a magnitude of 0.7507. 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.
Eclipse season
This is the second eclipse this season, the first being the August 2007 lunar eclipse.
