On April 20, 2023 a unique hybrid solar eclipse occurred over the Indian Ocean, Australia, and Indonesia<\/a>, making the opportunity to see a ghostly corona for up to 1 minute in the central line above Exmouth of Australia<\/a>. I was lucky to get there for the spectacular phenomenon. Here are some first results of the phenomenon and also the atmosphere around it. Excitements were huge over the Pebble Beach<\/a>, where over 300 people parked their cars to see the 1-minute totality with huge prominence and solar-max-shaped corona.<\/p>\n

During the unique hybrid eclipse of April 20, 2023, over Australia’s Pebble Beach, I also took a very fast sequence (3 images per second) to show the story of the eclipse as a sequence showing all the visible solar layers of its atmosphere. While the darkest moment, the totality (in the center) was perfect for capturing the glancing glow of the solar corona, the start and ending of the show were perfect for the solar photosphere’s beads show (the Baily’s Beads<\/a>) as the almost-same-angularly-sized mountainous Moon observation. The whole time bright pink prominences above the chromosphere layer were visible as bright pearls around the Sun. Since we were located very close to the central line of the eclipse the image shows the phenomenon pretty symmetrical.<\/p>\n
