Solar eclipse of July 9, 1926
Introduction An annular solar eclipse occurred on Friday, July 9, 1926.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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from the islands of Pulo Anna and Merir in Japan's South Seas Mandate (now in Palau) and Wake Island on July 10 (Saturday), and Midway Atoll on July 9 (Friday).
