Solar eclipse of November 3, 1994
Introduction The '''solar eclipse of November 3, 1994''', was a total solar eclipse visible within a band crossing South America from the Pacific to the Atlantic and visible as a partial solar eclipse everywhere on the continent. Totality was visible in Peru, northern Chile, Bolivia, northern Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil and Gough Island of British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The Iguazu Falls, one of the largest waterfalls systems in the world, lay in the path of totality. Totality lasted about 4.4 minutes, so it was a relatively long ''total'' solar eclipse. Occurring only 10 hours and 2 minutes before perigee (Perigee on November 3, 1994, at 23:41 UTC, while greatest eclipse at 13:39 UTC), the moon's apparent diameter was too larger.
