A partial solar eclipse will occur on Tuesday, June 12, 2029. 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.
The eclipse will be visible from Northern and Central Europe, northern Russia, Arctic, Greenland, and northern North America.
