Solar eclipse of September 11, 2007
A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of the orbit on September 11, 2007.[1] 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.
