The moon's shadow will sweep across the globe in Western Australia, East Timor and Indonesia.
and the fact that the moon's shadow is made up of two parts: The shallower and lighter outer shadow called the penumbra, and the darker inner shadow known as the umbra. During a hybrid eclipse when the moon's shadow falls on Earth, the planet is only in the penumbra and an annular eclipse is seen. The umbra is over the surface of the Earth.
"The moon is just at the right distance from Earth for the apex of its cone-shaped shadow to be slightly above the Earth's surface at the beginning and end of the eclipse path, causing the moon's antumbral shadow to move across Earth, causing an annular solar eclipse," Space.com's Jamie Carter wrote in an.
These hybrid eclipses often have a second"turning point" where the total eclipse reverts back to an annular eclipse. This is caused by the surface of the Earth once again falling away from the dark umbra to the penumbra as the planet continues to curve. In the case of the April 2023 hybrid eclipse, Carter pointed out there will be two points on Earth where the eclipse morphs from an annular eclipse to a total eclipse and back again.
It's very important to remember to never look at the sun with the unaided eye. Even during total solar eclipses, looking at the sun without eye protection can permanently harm your eyes and vision.
