Hybrid Solar Eclipse
A hybrid solar eclipse is a very rare and strange astronomical event that only occurs a few times a century. A hybrid solar eclipse combines an annular and a total solar eclipse where the former becomes the latter and then usually reverts back. Therefore, observers at different points in the eclipse path can experience different phenomena. For example, if you watch a hybrid solar eclipse at sunrise or at sunset you may see a brief “ring of fire”. If you watch it at midday — so at the mid-point of the eclipse’s path across the surface of Earth — you’ll experience totality.
This eclipse will not be visible from the UK.
