Solar eclipse of April 19, 2004
- Solar eclipse of April 19, 2004
The solar eclipse that took place on Monday, 19 April 2004 was an partial eclipse of the Sun that was largely visible over the south Atlantic Ocean and north shores of Antarctica, most prominently the Antarctic Peninsula. The eclipse was deep enough to be seen from a large portion of southern Africa, with over 50% totality at Cape Town, South Africa approximately 4:10 PM. However, the eclipse remained visible to cities such as Harare, Maseru, Durban, and Bloemfontein, although to a much lesser extent.
The greatest eclipse of the Sun took place over a nigh unaccessible strip of ocean off the Antarctic coast; the maximum point displayed 73.5% totality, as compared to Cape Town's 51% totality.
