A total solar eclipse occurred on June 17, 1909. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometres wide. This event is a hybrid, starting and ending as an annular eclipse.
The path of totality crossed Arctic ocean, Canada, Greenland, central Russia, central Asia.
This set of solar eclipses repeat approximately every 177 days and 4 hours at alternating nodes of the moon's orbit.
