Rare Solar Eclipse On Sunday, November 3, 2013 > Oh, don't 4-get to turn back your clock(s) EnJoy your Xtra hour of rest..



CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- The final solar eclipse of 2013 will occur on Sunday, November 3, 2013, and will be viewable from the U.S. East Coast. This will be a rare 'hybrid' eclipse made up of both an annular solar eclipse and a total solar eclipse in which some sections of the shadow path on Earth are annular while other parts are total.


A partial eclipse with a 'ring of fire' will be seen from eastern North America, northern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The total eclipse will occur over the Atlantic Ocean.


According to NASA, the duality comes about when the vertex of the Moon's umbral shadow pierces Earth's surface at some locations, but falls short of the planet along other sections of the path. The unusual geometry is due to the curvature of Earth's surface that brings some geographic locations into the umbra while other positions are more distant and enter the antumbral rather than umbral shadow.


In most cases of hybrid eclipses, the central path begins annular, changes to total for the middle portion of the track, and reverts back to annular towards the end of the path. However, the November 3, 2013 solar eclipse is even more unique because the central path to begins annular and ends total.



The path of the Moon's shadow begins in the North Atlantic approximately 1000 km due east of Jacksonville, Forida. From the central line, a 4 second annular eclipse is visible at sunrise (11:05 UT). As the shadow races forward, the narrow 4 km wide path rapidly shrinks to zero and the eclipse changes from annular to total. This all transpires within the first 15 seconds of the shadow's trajectory. For the remainder of the track, the eclipse remains total.

By David Simpson, CNN
updated 6:07 AM EST, Sun November 3, 2013



The partial solar eclipse will last less than two minutes and can be seen at sunrise along the U.S. East Coast.



STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Partial eclipse will last less than two minutes
• Total eclipse is only for parts of Atlantic Ocean and Africa

(CNN) -- Not quite the whole sun will come up Sunday along the East Coast of the United States, but the partial solar eclipse will last less than two minutes.
iReport: Send us your pictures
The eclipse will be under way at sunrise. While the moon's shadow will cast a total eclipse over the view of the sun from parts of the Atlantic Ocean and Africa, the sun will look like a half-moon or three-quarter moon when sunrise gets to the American coast.
By the time sunlight reaches as far inland as Atlanta, the eclipse will be just slightly noticeable.
If you try to see the eclipse, be careful not to look at the sun directly. Space.com offers some tips on safe viewing.

 

Yep,
I missed it!

Forgot about the "time" change and got up to late!

I slept in ... Daaaa

Thanks for the video space....

 

Solar eclipse 2013: Watch live Kenya stream of November spectacle that will miss UK

3 Nov 2013 14:14 Although this eclipse will miss Great Britain you can watch it live with this streaming video feed from Kenya







In an incredibly rare interstellar event, towns and cities in central Africa will be plunged into darkness as a special kind of total eclipse blocks out the sun.
The event will miss the UK, but you can watch the live video stream from Kenya.
The dramatic event, known as a hybrid eclipse, will see the sun become a "ring of fire" as it lines up perfectly with the sun.
The last recorded eclipse of this kind occurred on November 20, 1854, and it won't happen again until October 17, 2172.
The whole eclipse is expected to last for around four hours.
The event will only be seen in tiny slices of North America, Uganda and northern Kenya, from where astronomers are broadcasting crystal clear images of the eclipse to the world
