What is Hybrid Solar Eclipse?
A Hybrid Solar Eclipse is a rare phenomenon and it occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and blocks the entire Sun's light and prevents it to reach the Earth. As, the earth's surface is curved, at times the eclipse can shift between a total eclipse and an annular eclipse because the Moon's shadow moves across the globe, according to NASA.
It is also known as 'Ningaloo' which is inspired by the name of the Australian shoreline of the same name. This name is associated with the eclipse due to partial visibility.
