Rare hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 not to be seen in Pakistan
Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
The first rare hybrid solar eclipse of this year in the month of April will begin on April 20 at 7:50 AM and end at 12:29 PM.
Neither a partial hybrid solar eclipse, nor a full eclipse will be visible to viewers in Pakistan and India but parts of the Pacific, Indian Ocean regions, Western Australia, East Timor and eastern Indonesia will experience a rare type of this event.
Hybrid solar eclipses are extremely rare, occurring only a few times per century — and one will pass over our planet's skies in less than two weeks.
The total duration of a solar eclipse will be 05 hours and 24 minutes.
According to the reports, when the moon's shadow speeds over Earth, hybrid solar eclipses transition from total to annular; in some spots, the moon fully obscures the sun, while in others, a ring of light is seen around the edge of our natural satellite.
