| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| previous | Solar eclipse of July 22, 2047 |
| next | Solar eclipse of June 11, 2048 |
A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's ascending node of orbit between Monday, December 16 and Tuesday, December 17, 2047, with a magnitude of 0.8816. 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 last of four partial solar eclipses in 2047, with the others occurring on January 26, June 23, and July 22.
The partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of Antarctica, southern Chile, and southern Argentina.

Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight.
