NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 21 April 2023: Hybrid Solar Eclipse in Western Australia

[ad_1] A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth, fully or partially blocking the Sun's light in some areas. Depending on how they align, eclipses provide a unique, exciting view of either the Sun or the Moon, according to NASA. There are multiple types of solar eclipses – Annular, Total and Partial. But there's one phenomenon when the solar eclipse shifts between Annular and Total due to Earth's curvature, known as a Hybrid Solar Eclipse.Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is a snapshot of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse which occurred yesterday, April 20. Before this, a hybrid eclipse was seen in 2013 and it will not be seen again till 2031. And after that? There will be no hybrid solar eclipse till 2164. It crossed over remote par...

RARE hybrid solar eclipse JUST 2 days away; Know when, how to watch it online

[ad_1] In just two days' time, the world will witness the first solar eclipse of 2023. And interestingly, it will not be an ordinary eclipse. Astronomers have named it the hybrid solar eclipse. This rare eclipse is a mix of the total solar eclipse and annular (ring-shaped) and it is caused as the shadow of the Moon shifts around the surface of the Earth. Before this, a hybrid eclipse was seen in 2013 and it will not be seen again till 2031. And after that? There will be no hybrid solar eclipse till 2164. So, if you want to know about the time of the solar eclipse and how to watch it online, read on.The hybrid total/annular eclipse will be visible from South Pacific, Western Australia, East Timor, and eastern Indonesia, as per a report by In The Sky.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse coming! Know date, time, place to watch

[ad_1] The first solar eclipse of the year 2023 is almost here. But this will not be a partial or total solar eclipse. Yes, on April 20, 2023, parts of Pacific and Indian Ocean regions will witness a rare hybrid solar eclipse. It can be known that a solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon, and Earth line up, either fully or partially. Depending on how they align, eclipses provide a unique, exciting view of either the Sun or the Moon. "A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth that either fully or partially blocks the Sun's light in some areas," NASA said.Wondering how a hybrid solar eclipse occurs? Because Earth's surface is curved, sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total as the Moon's shadow moves across the g...
