 "It can also start as a ring eclipse, and then come a little closer to being a total eclipse," BeamÃn added.
Hybrid eclipses are quite rare (accounting for only 4% of all solar eclipses), according to the Instituto de AstrofÃsica de Canarias (IAC). According to Nasa, this hybrid eclipse last occurred in 2013, and we'll have to wait until April 20, 2023, to see it again, when it will be visible in Indonesia, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.
8. Stellar Eclipses
Not all eclipses involve just the Sun and Moon: distant stars can experience eclipses too.
"Because there are so many stars in our galaxy, some of those binary stars [stellar systems consisting of two stars circling the same center of mass] orbit in a very parallel plane to Earth, so at a certain part of their orbit, one star passes in front of the other, obscuring it," Beamin added.
As information, these double stars are called eclipsing binary stars.
