Solar eclipse of April 13, 1801
A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Monday, April 13, 1801, with a magnitude of 0.4208. 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.
The partial solar eclipse was visible for parts of modern-day eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and western Russia.

Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.| [Solar eclipse of Solar eclipse of March 14, 1801|March 14, 1801|March 14] Ascending node | March 30 Descending node | April 13 Ascending node |
