Tomorrow’s hybrid solar eclipse viewing options: Live feeds, timing
Here’s how to see the “hybrid” total solar eclipse on April 20 live online.
Some regions of the globe will be treated to an incredibly uncommon “hybrid” solar eclipse tomorrow (April 20), where it will transition from annular to total eclipse and then back to annular once more. Here’s a guide on how to stream the eclipse live from wherever you are.
When is the solar ecliptic?
Astronomy website In the Sky reports that the eclipse will begin at 7.06 AM IST and last till 12.29 PM IST. Unfortunately, viewers in India won’t be able to see it; instead, only viewers in Western Australia, East Timor, and Eastern Indonesia will be able to.
What will occur throughout the eclipse?
The Moon will pass in front of the Sun and the Earth during the eclipse. A total solar eclipse will also occur in the regions of the Earth that are in the shadow of the Moon. However, there are instances when the Moon is too far from the Sun to fully obscure it. An annular eclipse is what is experienced in this situation.
Due to the curvature of the Earth’s surface, eclipses can transition from total to annular and vice versa. The eclipse that will occur tomorrow is a hybrid, as this one is.
