The moon will blot out the sun Sunday (Nov. 3) in an eclipse that will be visible from eastern North America to the Middle East.

Sunday's celestial event is a relatively rare occurrence known as a hybridsolar eclipse. It will begin as an annular or "ring of fire" eclipse along the path of totality, then shift to a total eclipse as the moon's shadow sweeps across our planet.

What you'll observe depends on where you live. Skywatchers in the eastern United States, northeastern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and most of Africa will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, while people along the path of totality in central Africa will see the sun totally obscured by Earth's nearest neighbor for a few dramatic moments.

    I sure wish I would have seen this post last night, I sit on my back porch almost every morning... It's my favorite part of the day. I noticed this morning the sky was yellow as the sun started to rise, looked very unusual. So I came in to get ready for work and had the tv on. I heard the news guy say we had the eclipse this morning. I was sooo disappointed. One of our customers did get a picture of it and shared it with me. It was amazing! I live in North Florida on the coast.

    It was partly cloudy here so I didn't see anything. Would love to see some pictures, I'll have to look around online.
