of stunning photos from the rare solar eclipse

Sky watchers across the world were treated to a rare hybrid solar eclipse on Sunday morning — when an annular solar eclipse (when the only visible part of the sun appears as a bright ring around the moon) transitions into a total solar eclipse (when the moon completely blocks the sun).

Eclipse watchers got a different view depending on their region of the world. Early risers in the eastern United States could see a partial eclipse. Only people in central Africa got to see the total eclipse of the sun. In Kenya, the total eclipse lasted for 15 seconds.

  1. Great captures. Events like these occur very rarely, so good to capture them.
