Nigeria and other parts of West Africa, will on November 3, 2013, experience a partial hybrid solar eclipse.
A partial hybrid solar eclipse is an eclipse, where there is a maximum partial cover of the Sun by the Moon.
It will happen at 22 minutes after noon tomorrow, barring any rains or cloudy weather, Nigerians will see the normal afternoon sunny light being dimmed to evening for about one-and-half minutes, when the face of the sun would be covered 80-85 per cent by the Moon.
“There will be partial darkness, similar to dusk, and the eclipse will be seen in Eastern America, sliding to West Africa and finally dissipating in Central Africa,” Prof Amamoo-Otchere said.
“Those along the coast, from Half Assini to Aflao, will experience a wave of darkness in the skyline for a duration of a minute or two. The phenomenon would be experienced in the northern parts of the country, as far as Burkina Faso,”
“It is possible to see some twinkling stars and some planets,”
