A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Thursday, October 23, 2014,[1][2] with a magnitude of 0.8114. 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 partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth. Occurring only 5.7 days after apogee (Apogee on October 18, 2014), the Moon's apparent diameter was smaller.
It was the 9th eclipse of the 153rd Saros cycle, which began with a partial eclipse on July 28, 1870 and will conclude with a partial eclipse on August 22, 3114.
The center of the Moon's shadow missed the Earth, passing above the North Pole, but a partial eclipse was visible at sunrise (October 24 local time) in far eastern Russia, and before sunset (October 23) across most of North America.
This eclipse is a member of the 2011–2014 solar eclipse semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[4][Note 1]
A total solar eclipse on March 20, 2015, and a partial solar eclipse of September 13, 2015 occur during the next lunar year set.
It is a part of Saros cycle 153, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 70 events. The series started with partial solar eclipse on July 28, 1870. It contains annular eclipses from December 17, 2104 through May 26, 2970. The series ends at member 70 as a partial eclipse on August 22, 3114. The longest duration of annularity will be 7 minutes, 11 seconds on September 5, 2537.
The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node.
