QUEZON CITY, the Philippines, April 21 (Xinhua) -- It was lucky for people to witness a partial solar eclipse in Quezon City, the Philippines, through telescopes or special sunglasses.
The phenomenon occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun resulting in a hybrid solar eclipse, a rare type of solar eclipse that transitions between an annular eclipse and a total eclipse.
The totality of the hybrid solar eclipse was not visible in the country.
