A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, August 30, 1905,[1][2][3][4] with a magnitude of 1.0477.

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 kilometres wide.

Occurring about 1.9 days before perigee (on September 1, 1905, at 11:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.

The third was near the southern edge of the path of totality, at Porta Coeli Charterhouse, Valencia, Spain at an altitude of 1,000 feet (300 m).

The leader and some team members departed from New York City by ship on July 3 and arrived at Grado, Asturias, a Spanish port on the northern coast on July 20, while other team members had already arrived there in advance.

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 143, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 72 events.

Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee).
