Sunday Morning Solar Eclipse: Last of 2013

Look out for a show this Sunday as the final solar eclipse of the year will make its debut.

Just at sunrise, this rare, hybrid will cast a shadow over a path that stretches all the way across the Atlantic to Africa. Those in Uganda and Kenya will be able to catch glimpses of a total eclipse, while some parts of the magic will also be available via parts of the east coast.

According to The New York Times, those as far west as Pittsburgh can expect to catch this rare crescent sunrise that will be visible around 6:30 a.m. standard time.

"They will see, near the East Coast, 60 percent of the sun covered by the moon," said Jay M. Pasachoff, a professor of astronomy at Williams College in Massachusetts, according to the news organization. The eclipse is predicted to end 45 minutes later, just as the sun will still be barely stretching across the horizon.

"You do have to have a low horizon that doesn't have trees or mountains or buildings blocking your view," Dr. Pasachoff added. "If you have windows from Manhattan that look east over Long Island from a high floor, that should work."

Health officials warn that as with every solar eclipse, it's important not to look directly into the sun without special filters that help to block out ultraviolet light that could potentially damage eye-sight or cause blindness.

When the moon blocks out sunlight, this is referred to as a total eclipse. Yet with the moon's orbit, the planet sometimes blocks out the sun and leaves a ring of sunlight surrounding it, forming a so-called annular eclipse.

An annular solar eclipse previously hit in May 2013 that was visible in Australia, New Zealand and the Central Pacific, according to Moon Giant.

Sunday's hybrid will not be visible to everyone, but if it's in your area, do make sure to step out and take a look. You simply don't want to miss it!
