What is a hybrid solar eclipse?
Hybrid solar eclipse is called one of the rare phenomena that occur during the year. In this case, both the position of the Sun and the Moon are combined, leaving the Earth right in the middle, which is why, according to NASA, this eclipse is also known as a “total annular eclipse” and occurs when the Moon is far from Earth so it cannot completely cover the Sun.
How does a hybrid solar eclipse occur?
Hybrid eclipses occur because the Earth is curved and the Moon’s shadow has different regions, explains the US space agency. These regions are mainly divided between a darker central region, known as the umbra, and a lighter outer region, the penumbra.
These phenomena occur when the Moon is as far from Earth as possible in its elliptical orbit, at its apogee, but the umbra continues to meet the planet’s surface. Also according to NASA, these eclipses are quite rare, occurring only a few times every century. One of them will grace the skies of Earth this month.
