An annular solar eclipse occurred on June 28, 1889. 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. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. The path of annularity crossed Atlantic Ocean, Africa and Indian Ocean. This was the 47th solar eclipse of Solar Saros 125. The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 7 minutes and 22 seconds and covering a broad path up to 232 km wide.
