Solar eclipse of August 21, 1933
An annular solar eclipse took place on Monday, 21 August 1933. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from Italian Libya, Egypt, Mandatory Palestine including Jerusalem and Amman, French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon, Iraq including Baghdad, Persia, Afghanistan, British Raj, Siam, Dutch East Indies, North Borneo, and Australia.Related eclipses
