A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, with a magnitude of 0.601. 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.
This eclipse was the second of four partial solar eclipses in 2011, with the others occurring on January 4, July 1, and November 25.
A partial eclipse was visible for parts of Northeast Asia, Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, northern Scandinavia, and Iceland.
