Solar Eclipse 2023: When and Where to See the First Hybrid Celestial Event of the Year
On April 20, Thursday, certain parts of the Earth will undergo a period of darkness due to a solar eclipse. This surfaces when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, compelling a large shadow to be radiated on specific parts of the globe. Unlike a complete or partial eclipse, this occurrence will be a blend of both. Solar eclipses occur around every eighteen months in various locations on the planet.
Solar Eclipse 2023 Date & Time
The Hybrid Solar Eclipse is designed to take place on April 20, beginning at 10:04 am and advancing its peak at 11:30 am. Although the eclipse will last for more than two hours, the whole phase, during which the Sun is completely dimmed, will only last for a quick moment of less than a minute.
