spectacular geocentric celestial event was a rare hybrid eclipse of the Sun ‐ a total or an
annular eclipse could be seen depending on the observer's location. For Fred Espenak,
aboard a gently swaying ship within the middle of the Moon's shadow track about 2,200
kl
kilometers west of the Galapagos, the eclipse was total, the lunar silhouette exactly
f h l h l l h l lh l
covering the bright solar disk for a few brief moments. His camera captured a picture of
totality revealing the extensive solar corona and prominences rising above the Sun's
edge. But for Stephan Heinsius, near the end of the shadow track at Penonome Airfield,
Panama, the Moon's apparent size had shrunk enough to create an annular eclipse,
showing a complete annulus of the Sun's bright disk as a dramatic ring of fire. Pictures
from the two locations are compared above How rare is such a hybrid eclipse?
from the two locations are compared above. How rare is such a hybrid eclipse?
Calculations show that during the 21st century just 3.1% (7 out of 224) of solar eclipses
are hybrid while hybrids comprise about 5% of all solar eclipses over the period 2000 BC
to AD 4000.
