A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Saturday, January 5 and Sunday, January 6, 2019, with a magnitude of 0.7145. 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.
