Solar eclipse of September 21, 1922
A total solar eclipse occurred on September 21, 1922. 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. The greatest eclipse occurred exactly at perigee.
Totality started in Ethiopia, Italian Somaliland, and passed British Maldives and Christmas Island in the Straits Settlements in the Indian Ocean, and Australia. Two large scientific expeditions investigated Einstein's theory of relativity.Related eclipses
