An unusual "Hybrid Solar Eclipse" (1)
|
Da "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 6 Maggio 2005:"April's spectacular geocentric celestial event was a rare Hybrid Eclipse of the Sun - such as a total or an annular eclipse could be seen depending on the Observer's location.
For Fred Espenak, aboard a gently swaying ship within the middle of the Moon's shadow track about 2.200 Km west of the Galapagos, the eclipse was total, the lunar silhouette exactly covering the bright solar disk for a few brief moments.
His camera captured a picture of totality revealing the extensive Solar Corona and prominences rising above the Sun's edge".
