📸 Solar Eclipse
On April 20, 2023, a rare hybrid solar eclipse was seen from the Indian Ocean. Fred Espenak (1953–2025), the legendary "Mr. Eclipse," captured this stunning composite of 11 exposures showing the solar corona in rich detail. His legacy lives on in every eclipse image we admire.

The best explanation I have seen of solar eclipses, and how hybrid eclipses work. (The one peaking at 11:21 local time is special, being hybrid.) The article's explanation includes the effect of the moon's orbit changing the distance between the earth and the moon.

What to know about this week’s rare hybrid eclipse

A rare hybrid solar eclipse will be visible on Thursday in some areas. The next one will take place in 2031.

Why is #HybridEclipse a thing? Because the Earth is curved! Depending on where you are on the curve, you can be just far enough for the moon to be small enough to produce a ring of fire instead of a total eclipse.
