A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Sunday, January 14, 2029, with a magnitude of 0.8714. 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 will be the first of four partial solar eclipses in 2029, with the others occurring on June 12, 2029, July 11, 2029, and December 5, 2029.
It also precedes the two total lunar eclipses occurring on June 26, 2029 and December 20, 2029.

Metonic series
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.
