The tropical regions of Africa enjoy a ringside seat to the second and last solar eclipse of 2013 on Sunday, November 3, 2013. Those in Africa see either a total solar eclipse or a deep partial solar eclipse in the afternoon hours on November 3. Much of the rest of the world sees a partial eclipse on November 3. Over the Atlantic Ocean, just as the eclipse begins, it is an annular or ring eclipse. Almost immediately thereafter, it changes into a total eclipse. That’s why people are calling this a hybrid eclipse.
IMPORTANT: This eclipse happens early on Sunday, according to U.S. clocks! Online coverage begins at 1045 UTC (4:45 a.m. CST) on November 3. Also remember, for us in the U.S., Daylight Saving Time ends November 3.
Outside of Africa, a shallow partial solar eclipse is seen from eastern North America, southern Greenland, the Caribbean, northern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and Madagascar. Follow the links below to learn about the total eclipse, and more.
