Introduction


The Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 is visible from the following geographic regions:

  • Partial Eclipse: Americas, Africa, south Europe
  • Hybrid Eclipse: Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Sudan

The map to the right depicts the geographic regions of eclipse visibility. Click on the map to enlarge it. For an explanation of the features appearing in the map, see Key to Solar Eclipse Maps.

The instant of greatest eclipse takes place on 2067 Dec 06 at 14:03:43 TD (14:02:07 UT1). This is 3.4 days before the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Ophiuchus. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of 1793.

The eclipse belongs to Saros 143 and is number 26 of 72 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node. The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma decreases.

The solar eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 is one of the rare hybrid solar eclipses. In this particular case the eclipse path starts out as annular. Further down the track it changes to total and then back to annular before the path ends. It is a very short hybrid eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 00m08s. The eclipse magnitude is 1.0011, while Gamma has a value of 0.2845.

The hybrid solar eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 is preceded two weeks earlier by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 2067 Nov 21.

These eclipses all take place during a single eclipse season.

The eclipse predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 96.0 seconds for this eclipse.

Global Map Animation of Solar Eclipse

Michael Zeiler GreatAmericanEclipse.com and
Fred Espenak EclipseWise.com have created a series of eclipse animations - one for every solar eclipse during the 21st Century.

The animation of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 shows the path of the Moon's shadows as they sweep across a global map of Earth (an orthographic projection). The vantage point of the animation is as seen from the Moon. The daylight hemisphere of Earth then faces the Moon and the lunar shadows appear perfectly circular with no distorted projection effects as they race across Earth. Another consequence of this viewing geometry is that the Moon's shadows move across the disk of Earth in a straight line.

The Moon's umbral/antumbral shadow appears as a small black disk and tracks along the path of totality or annularity (yellow strip). The much larger penumbral shadow is lightly shaded and is outlined with a solid black edge. A partial eclipse is visible from within the penumbra, while either a total or annular eclipse is visible inside the umbra or antumbra.

The map to the right shows a single frame from the medium size animation for the Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 . In the upper left corner is the type of eclipse and the eclipse date. To the upper right is the Universal Time. The lower left corner displays the instantaneous duration of either totality or annularity. To the lower right is the credit for the animation.

Animations for the Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 are available in three sizes/resolutions: small, medium, and large. They can be viewed through the following links:

Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2067 Dec 06 were generated using the JPL DE405 solar and lunar ephemerides. The lunar coordinates were calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass. The predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 96.0 seconds for this eclipse.
