The partial solar eclipse of October 19, 2004 was the second of two partial solar eclipses in 2004. It was observed in Northeast Asia and the Northwest Pacific. However, high degrees of coverage were only achieved in sparsely populated areas such as Siberia and Alaska . In densely populated Japan and Korea , only a very small part of the solar disk was covered by the moon.
