"The Moon is just the right distance from Earth so that the apex of its cone-shaped shadow is slightly above the Earth's surface at the beginning and end of the eclipse path, making the shadow antenumbral of the Moon to move across the Earth and cause an annular eclipse. However, in the middle of the eclipse path, the apex of the Moon's umbra shadow hits the Earth's surface because that part of the planet is a little closer to the Moon.
The hybrid solar eclipse is about to occur and will take place on April 19 and 20, depending on the area of the planet where you are.
However, you may not be able to enjoy it with the naked eye, since it will be seen, mainly, on the coasts of Australia. It can also be seen in Papua, Indonesia; New Zealand and New Guinea.
You will be able to follow the full coverage through NASA's digital platforms and on its website. Likewise, the live broadcast will be through its YouTube channel on April 20.
