Saros 133 (22 of 72)
Catalog # (SE5000) 8536

A total solar eclipse occurred on March 7, 1598 (25 February 1597 using the Old Style date). 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.

Visibility

Totality was visible from the British Isles with a diagonal track from Cornwall in the south-west to Aberdeen in the north-east of Scotland.

It was observed from Germany by Tycho Brahe. [1]

It is a part of solar Saros 133.

This is the 22nd member of Solar Saros 133. The previous event was on February 15, 1580 (21st member). The next event would be on March 17, 1616 (23rd member).
