Total Solar Eclipse, 1925
A total solar eclipse occurred on Saturday, January 24, 1925. 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 kilometers wide. Totality was visible from southwestern and southeastern Quebec in Canada, and the United States, including Toronto, Niagara Falls and the northern part of New York City. It was reported that those above 96th Street in Manhattan saw a total solar eclipse while those below 96th Street saw a partial eclipse. No photographer credited, January 24, 1925.
