A "rare" astronomical event during the week ... will not be repeated until 2031

 A once-in-a-decade astronomical event that will astonish all who see it from certain parts of the world later this week. A "hybrid solar eclipse" is a rare type of eclipse that changes appearance, as the moon's shadow moves across the Earth's surface.

This means that people will be able to see the sun completely covered by the moon, depending on where they are, causing a much darker day. According to the British Royal Observatory, the event will be visible from parts of the equator and the southern hemisphere including western Australia and southeast Asia at around 11:30 am.

Those who can see it should not miss the "golden" opportunity, as the last hybrid solar eclipse was in November 2013, while the next eclipse of this kind will be in November 2031. According to astronomers, this "exciting" eclipse will not be visible to residents of the Arab world, Europe or the United States.

How is a hybrid solar eclipse achieved?

Thursday, the moon's shadow will pass across the Earth thousands of kilometers wide, and every region within this shadow will witness at least a partial eclipse of the sun. The central point of this shadow is known as the "Path of Perfection," and along this path Earthlings will also see a total or partial solar eclipse.
