A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon''s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, April 8, 1902,[1][2][3] with a magnitude of 0.0643. 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 partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon''s shadow misses the Earth.
Shown below are two tables displaying details about this particular solar eclipse. The first table outlines times at which the moon''s penumbra or umbra attains the specific parameter, and the second table describes various other parameters pertaining to this eclipse.[4]
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon''s orbit.[5]
The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 13 at 3 minutes, 35 seconds on May 13, 766 AD, and the longest duration of totality was produced by member 46 at 5 minutes, 7 seconds on May 5, 1361. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon''s descending node of orbit.[6]
This eclipse is a part of a tritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135 synodic months (≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles (≈ 33 years minus 3 months) come close (≈ 434.044 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
