There is a special kind of solar eclipse coming up on Sunday, November 3, 2013. It’s a
hybrid solar eclipse. That is, the eclipse appears fleetingly as an annular – or
ring eclipse – at its start and becomes a brief
total eclipse
later on. But much of the world sees a partial eclipse. The eclipse
will be visible from far-eastern North America, the Caribbean, northern
South America, southern Greenland, the Atlantic Ocean, southern Europe,
Africa, Madagascar and the Middle East. Keep in mind that you’ll
absolutely need proper eye protection to watch this or any solar
eclipse. Please use caution to prevent blindness or severe eye injury!
No matter where you reside within the eclipse viewing area, the solar
eclipse will take place sometime between sunrise and sunset on Sunday,
November 3, 2013.

middle depicts the path of the total solar eclipse.
