Solar eclipse of August 30, 1905
A total solar eclipse occurred on August 30, 1905. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Totality was visible from Canada, Newfoundland Colony, Spain, French Algeria, French Tunisia, Ottoman Tripolitania include the capital Tripoli, Egypt, Ottoman Empire include Mecca, Emirate of Jabal Shammar, Aden Protectorate, and Muscat and Oman.
Scientists came from all over the world to Alcalà de Xivert in Spain to watch the eclipse on August 30, 1905.Related eclipses
