Een smalle strook van Afrika heeft vandaag een zeldzame totale zonverduistering mogen aanschouwen. De verduistering was het meest volledig boven de Atlantische Oceaan, ruim 300 kilometer ten zuidwesten van Liberia.
Terwijl in de VS, het zuiden van Europa en Irak de verduistering gedeeltelijk was, was ze in delen van Afrika totaal.
De eclips begon daar als een ringvormige verduistering boven de Atlantische Oceaan en werd totaal met een maximale duur van 1 minuut veertig seconden, meteen ook de langste hybride eclips van deze eeuw, zegt Urania in Hove.
Nog bijzonder: er was ook totaliteit op locatie 0° 0' 0", 0° 0' 0", of het snijpunt van de Evenaar en de nul-meridiaan. De totale fase duurde daar 54 seconden.
Urania vond naar eigen zeggen dertig enthousiaste Belgen die naar Ethiopië zijn getrokken en veertig die in Oeganda een veertiendaagse eclipsreis meemaken.

This eclipse was a rare “hybrid” eclipse, appearing as either an annular or total eclipse from different locations on Earth. These images were taken with an 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope fitted, of course, with a solar filter. Credit and copyright: Ziad El-Zaatari

The partial hybrid solar eclipse of November 3, 2013 was photographed through intermittent cloud cover over a wheat field in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. ‘I was anxiously awaiting a break in the cloud cover to get a clear shot; suddenly, about fifteen minutes from the conclusion, a small clearing made the partial eclipse visible. The colors of the clouds and sunrise made this a morning I will not forget!’ Credit and copyright: Marion Haligowski.

On November 3, 2013 a hybrid eclipse moved quickly from west to east over the Atlantic, passing over Africa around 13:25 UTC. At the same time, the Suomi NPP satellite orbited over the area, capturing this image of the lunar umbra. The umbra appears as a somewhat circular shadow centered over the Gulf of Guinea and extending into Western Africa. Three orbits of the Suomi NPP satellite are shown here, each around 97 minutes apart. No signs of the eclipse are visible, in the preceding and following orbits.
