Solar eclipse of November 23, 1965
An annular solar eclipse occurred on November 23, 1965. 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. An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Nepal, southwestern Sikkim, Burma, southwestern tip of Sainyabuli Province in Laos, Cambodia, South Vietnam, Spratly Islands, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Territory of Papua New Guinea, and Gilbert and Ellice Islands. 8 of the 14 eight-thousanders—Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu, Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse and Makalu, as well as the highest peak of Oceania, Puncak Jaya, lie in the path of annularity.Related eclipses
