A rare hybrid solar eclipse happened on Thursday, with those in the Philippines witnessing a partial blocking of the sun by the moon.
According toi Ian Cruz's report on "24 Oras", a hybrid solar eclipse is one in which a total eclipse is witnessed in some parts of the world while an annular is observed in others.
"Sa Australia lang 'yung total and the rest annular. Karamihan sa dagat naman. Dito sa Pilipinas, sa labas ng dadaanan ng eclipse, partial eclipse lang tayo,” he added. Meanwhile, eclipse-watchers trooped to the PAGASA Astronomical Observatory at the University of the Philippines-Diliman to witness the rare phenomenon.
