On Wednesday (April 19) and Thursday (April 20), the moon will pass in front of the sun creating an eclipse for certain regions of the planet. But this eclipse will be a much rarer celestial event than most, as it will be a hybrid eclipse that appears different from different locations across the globe taking the form of an annular eclipse, a total eclipse, or a partial eclipse.
The shadow of the moon will sweep across Western Australia, to East Timor, and Indonesia beginning at 9:36 p.m. EDT on April 19 (0136 GMT on April 20), and ending at 2:59 a.m. EDT (0659 GMT), and as it does the eclipse will change from a ring-shaped annular eclipse to a total eclipse and then back again.
