A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, January 24, 1925,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0304.
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 1.1 days after perigee (on January 23, 1925, at 13:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.
[2] Totality was visible from southwestern and southeastern Ontario in Canada (including Toronto and Niagara Falls), Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York (including the northern part of New York City), New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
[3] Visual and radio observations were conducted by researchers working with Scientific American.
Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee).
