A total solar eclipse occurred on May 9 1910. 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 blocking all direct sunlight turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometres wide.
