Solar eclipse of August 29, 1867

A total solar eclipse occurred on Thursday, August 29, 1867. 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 total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. Totality occurred across central Argentina and the southern Atlantic ocean.

gollark: ... well, it was initially to annoy Terrariola.
gollark: All commands sent via SPUDNET are now logged with the key which sent them.
gollark: SPUDNET keys are now managed by the SPUDNET-HKI system, so I can just deactivate a leaked key.
gollark: The disk signing key has remained uncompromised... forever... somehow.
gollark: No, you had the SPUDNET backdoor key.
