Solar eclipse of April 28, 1930
Introduction A total solar eclipse occurred on April 28, 1930.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. This event is a hybrid, starting and ending as an annular eclipse.The path of totality crossed the eastern Pacific Ocean, northwestern United States, and across central and eastern Canada, and northern Labrador of the Dominion of Newfoundland (today's Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada).
