Hybrid Solar Eclipse Crosses Saudi Arabia
- Greatest eclipse of the Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2049 Nov 25 falls at 05:32:15.3 UT at 03°48.3'S 095°14.9'E, with the Sun 72.9° high, a path only 20.7 km wide and a central duration of 00m37.5s[1]
- The central phase is longest at the sunrise end of the track: the point of Greatest Duration is 03:49:13 UT at 21°02'N 037°51'E, with the Sun on the horizon (altitude 0.0°), a path 40.0 km wide and a central duration of 00m41.8s[1][3]
- The central path crosses Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Malaysia and Indonesia, while the partial eclipse is visible from eastern Africa, southern Asia, the East Indies and Australia[2]
- Being hybrid - "also known as annular/total", an eclipse that "is both total and annular along different sections of its umbral path" - its eclipse magnitude just exceeds 1, at 1.0057 in the saros catalogue and 1.006 in the decade table[2][4]
- The eclipse belongs to Saros series 143, with gamma 0.2943, path width 21 km and central duration 00m38s; the catalogues give greatest eclipse in Terrestrial Dynamical Time as 05:33:48[4] and 05:33:47[2], the same instant as the source's 05:32:15.3 UT given ΔT = 91.9 seconds[1][2][4]
- The source page tabulates the Moon's umbral shadow at 120-second intervals in WGS 84 coordinates - 103 timed rows from 03:50 UT to 07:14 UT plus opening and closing "Limits" rows - with northern and southern limits, the central line, the Moon/Sun diameter ratio, the Sun's altitude and azimuth, path width and central-line duration[1]
- Saros 143 runs 1280.14 years across 72 eclipses (26 annular, 30 partial, 12 total, 4 hybrid, sequence "10P 12T 4H 26A 20P"), from a partial eclipse on 1617 Mar 07 to a partial eclipse on 2897 Apr 23, all at the Moon's ascending node[4]
- Predictions were generated using the VSOP87/ELP2000-85 solar and lunar ephemerides with ΔT = 91.9 seconds and "DO NOT include the effects of mountains and valleys along the edge of the Moon"; limb corrections may shift the path limits by ~1-3 kilometers and change the duration by ~1-3 seconds, with more detailed predictions "normally posted 12-18 months before each eclipse"[1][3]

NASA's[2][3][4] eclipse catalogue gives the instant of greatest eclipse as 05:32:15 UT on 2049-11-25 (05:33:47 TD, the two separated by delta-T), from Saros series 143. Eclipse circumstances are computed from orbital mechanics, so the date and time are exact centuries ahead.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
