What is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse?


Question by m4ngA_luvR: What is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse?
Can you just tell me what a Hybrid Solar Eclipse is?


Best answer:
Answer by The Lazy AstronomerThis is the definistion from NASA:

"A hybrid eclipse is a unique type of central eclipse where parts of the path are annular while other parts are total. This duality comes about when the vertex of the Moon's umbral shadow pierces Earth's surface at some points, but falls short of the planet along other portions of the eclipse path. The curvature of Earth's surface brings some geographic locations along the path into the umbra while other positions are more distant and enter the antumbral rather than umbral shadow. In most cases (like in 2005), the hybrid eclipse begins annular, changes to total for the central portion of the path, and then converts back to annular towards the end of the path. However, some hybrid eclipses may be annular only at the beginning (e.g. - 2013 Nov 03) or at the end (e.g. - 2386 Apr 29) of the path."

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the Moon slipping in front of the face of the Sun on March 4, 2011. This view is in the far ultraviolet and shows lots of solar activity like sunspots (which are bright in the UV) and prominences. The Moon appears to change direction because SDO is orbiting the Earth. This is difficult to explain using just words, so I have created a diagram on my blog. It's the same effect that makes planets seem to reverse direction over several days (called "retrograde motion") or race cars seem to move left-to-right on the near side of the racetrack and right-to-left on the far side.

Question by lowertheboom: Why do total solar eclipses seems so rare in Northern Hemisphere United States area but?
more "frequent" in other parts of the world? Just looking at the scheduled eclipses til 2020 , certain general areas seem to pop up more than others.


Best answer:
Answer by Geoff GEclipses occur with about equal frequency everywhere on Earth. The United States is actually a fairly small country in terms of surface area, compared to, say, Canada or Russia.
