Where to observe the hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 in Vietnam?
According to the Hanoi Astronomical Society (HAS), Vietnamese astronomy lovers can observe a partial phase.
The Northern and Central provinces of our country will not be in the area to see this phenomenon. People in the Southern provinces, from Quang Tri to the South, can observe. The most favorable are the provinces of Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan.
But even when we observe from these provincial areas, the occlusion is only 8% (meaning the Sun is only covered by 8%), this figure in Ho Chi Minh City is 5%.
To know exactly when the hybrid eclipse can be observed in your area, readers should click on the timeanddate website and enter the name of the province or city.

What is a solar eclipse, what is a hybrid eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking part of the light from the Sun from reaching our Earth. At that time, the Moon's shadow will fall on the Earth.
In areas where the Moon's shadow sweeps over, people will see the Sun partially covered by the Moon (partial eclipse), or completely covered by the Moon (total eclipse). Occasionally, the Sun is partially covered in the middle, still revealing a bright ring on the outside, which is called an annular eclipse.
A hybrid solar eclipse consists of a total solar eclipse and an annular solar eclipse. When a hybrid eclipse occurs, some areas on Earth will see the total phase, other areas will see the annular phase, and still others will see only a partial phase.
