A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Wednesday, June 30, 1954,[1] with a magnitude of 1.0357.

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 3.1 days after perigee (on June 27, 1954, at 11:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.

The northeastern part of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe, also lay in the path of totality.

Within the United Kingdom, the path of totality only covered Shetland Islands in northern Scotland.

[4] The Astronomy Department of Kiev State University, Soviet Union made observation in Kyiv and took ideal images of solar corona.

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