Footnotes

  • 1Remember that a total or annular eclipse is only visible on a narrow track. The same eclipse will be partial over a much larger area, but partial eclipses are not as spectacular as total ones.
  • 2This is a so-called hybrid eclipse, which is total in some places and annular in others.
