There was a hybrid solar eclipse on November 3rd and it was of interest because - “Of the 11,898 solar eclipses listed over a 5,000 year span from 1999 BC to 3000 AD in Fred Espenak’s Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses, only 569, or 4.8% are hybrid.”
Aside from the provision of special glasses with UV and IR filters, there was a telescope set up at my university for interested people to observe the sun at close and to take pictures. This was the hybrid solar eclipse as seen from the campus:
A *Hybrid Solar Eclipse *(also called annular/total eclipse) shifts between a total and annular eclipse. At certain points on the surface of Earth it appears as a total eclipse, whereas at other points it appears as annular. Hybrid eclipses are comparatively rare.
