A partial solar eclipse occurred on January 22, 1841 during summer. 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.
It was the first of four partial eclipses that took place that year, two in a space of two months each, the next one was on February 21 and covered a small part of the Northern Hemisphere.[1] It was the last of solar saros 109, the last one was on February 3, 1859.[2]
Description
The eclipse was visible in a part of northern Antarctica which had 24-hour daylight at that time and a part of the southwesternmost portion of the Indian Ocean and a very tiny part of the Atlantic. The edge of the eclipse included the area dividing the Indian and the Atlantic oceans.
It showed about up to nearly 10% obscurity in Antarctica. The greatest eclipse was nearly about 30% of the way between Antarctica and the southernmost of Africa at 63.1 S, 56.6 E at 17:24 UTC (9:36 PM local time).[1]
The subsolar marking was in the Pacific Ocean hundreds of kilometers west of the Chilean-Peruvian border.
