Eclipses

Scientific paper

On Friday April 8, 2005 the first hybrid eclipse of the sun of the XXI century will take place. The hybrid term is used to indicate that the central phase of the eclipse is annular in a part of its path, and total in another part, depending on the geometry between the curvature of the Earth and the longitude of the shadow cone of the Moon. It will be visible in general from a wide area of the Central Pacific Ocean and parts of the American continent. The central phase will be visible only from a narrow corridor of not more than 33 km wide and 14200 km long that will cross the whole Pacific Ocean from SE New Zealand up to N of South America.
