Solar eclipse of June 30, 1935


A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Sunday, June 30, 1935, with a magnitude of 0.3375. 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 was the third of five solar eclipses in 1935, with the others occurring on January 5, February 3, July 30, and December 25. The next time this will occur is 2206.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Northern Europe, the northern Soviet Union, and Greenland.

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.
