A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Thursday, July 22, 1971,[1] with a magnitude of 0.0689. 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.

A partial eclipse was visible for parts of the eastern Soviet Union and northern Alaska. This was the 70th and final solar eclipse from Solar Saros 116.
