Reminder of the hybrid concept . It is a mix between an annular eclipse and a total eclipse . This is due to the distance of the Moon to the Earth is between the beginning and end of the eclipse . The annular eclipse will be at the beginning, but will be complete when it reaches the African continent. . Areas of visibility of the eclipse . The beginning of the eclipse is on the Atlantic Ocean in the North Sea and has no land or annularity or all but just a partial eclipse . Thus, for the DOM- TOM , the Sun will be eclipsed in the morning about 45% of Cayenne in French Guiana, beginning of the eclipse at 7:20 am in the morning and up at 8:15 am (local time Guiana ) . 63% in Fort -de- France, Martinique , beginning of the eclipse at 6:09 in the morning up to 7:07 , end 8:13 (local time Martinique ) . 67% in Pointe- à-Pitre, Guadeloupe , the beginning of the eclipse at 6:07 in the morning up to 7:06 , end 8:13 (local time Guadeloupe ) . Then the shadow of the Moon moves spanning the ocean and rises to over 500km of Cape Verde Islands , more than 200km off the west coast of Africa ( including Liberia ) . It starts to get really interesting when the shadow touches the continent in Central Africa.
