Solar Eclipse 2023: Date, time, when and where to watch rare hybrid Surya Grahan? Read details

The Ningaloo Eclipse, a "hybrid" solar eclipse, will occur on April 20.  This alignment occurs just a few times every century. There will be a total of four eclipses in 2023, including two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses. 

According to Space.com, the Moon will block out the Sun in this configuration, and the kind of eclipse will change from total solar eclipse to annular (ring-shaped) as the moon's shadow passes across the Earth's surface. Because the Earth's surface is curved, an eclipse can occasionally transition from annular to total as the Moon's shadow advances around the globe.
