Solar eclipse of July 3, 2065
A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, July 3, 2065, with a magnitude of 0.1638. 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.
This will be the second of four partial solar eclipses in 2065, with the others occurring on February 5, August 2, and December 27.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of Northern Europe and northern 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.| July 3 Descending node | July 17 Ascending node | August 2 Descending node |
| Partial solar eclipse Solar Saros 118 | Total lunar eclipse Lunar Saros 130 | Partial solar eclipse Solar Saros 156 |
