Sunday morning at 6:45AM , phratry on the east coast will have a hazard to see a very rare hybrid solar occultation . The last one occurred 150 years ago , and the next one wo n’t come until the year 2172 , so make trusted you set your alarm .
permit ’s speak terminology . An annular eclipse is the “ ring of blast ” type , where a small ring of sunlight shines around the lunar month . A full occultation is where the lunation obstruct the sun completely . The intercrossed eclipse has both phases : a gang is concisely seeable , then the moon choke up out the sunshine completely , then ( sometimes ) the doughnut re-emerge . They ’re passing rare — few than five per centum of eclipse are hybrids .
Unfortunately , Universe Today saysthe total occultation portion of the event will in all likelihood only be seeable if you ’re in the Atlantic Ocean or Africa . Still , the partial eclipse will be brightly visible on the east coast . Just , please , do n’t look directly at the Sunday during an eclipse . Use a solar filter or a ejection method acting , like the old milk cartonful trick you con in ground level school . Or just play it safe and watch SLOOH ’s live stream . You wo n’t burn your eyes out looking at a computer admonisher . [ Universe TodayviaPBS Newshour ]
