The “Ningaloo” eclipse is called a hybrid eclipse because it will go from annular to total before going back to an annular eclipse. It is named “Ningaloo” after the western coast of Australia because that is where it is best viewed.
During its annular phase, the Moon will be too far from the Sun to completely cover the latter. Due to this, the eclipse will look like a “ring of fire” with the dark disc of the Moon superimposed on the bright disc of the Sun. During the total phase, the night sky will be dark where the eclipse is visible. It will look like it is early in the morning or late in the night.
Unfortunately, the eclipse is not visible to viewers in India. But you can still witness the celestial rarity thanks to the live stream from just south of the town of Exmouth below. Exmouth is a town in western Australia, which is the best location to view the eclipse.
Below the live stream, you can also read our updates about the solar eclipse as it happens.
