Solar eclipse of January 25, 1982
On January 25, 1982, a partial solar eclipse occurred as the Moon passed between the Sun and Earth but did not line up to cover the Sun completely. The eclipse had a magnitude of 0.5663, meaning about 56.6% of the Sun’s disk was covered at maximum. The greatest phase happened at 04:42:53 UTC, from a location near 69.3°S, 91.7°W (Antarctica), at the Moon’s descending node.
This partial eclipse was visible from parts of Antarctica and New Zealand. It was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 1982, with the others on June 21, July 20, and December 15. The event is part of Saros cycle 150, a long series of eclipses that repeat roughly every 18 years and 11 days.
