Solar eclipse of September 12, 1950
Introduction A total solar eclipse occurred on September 12, 1950.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 eastern Soviet Union (today's Russia) and the whole Semichi Islands in Alaska.
