Depending from where you see a hybrid solar eclipse, the view will vary from
a partial to annular to a barely, yet totally, eclipsed Sun.

During totality the dazzling inner corona is
adorned with glowing red chromospheric highlights.

By taking a time exposure, the newest of new moons can also be seen.
The magenta glow on its surface is however not real.

The glow is simply lens flare from the bright inner chromosphere and the
long exposure needed to capture moon's surface detail.

This fleeting view (lasting just 58 seconds)
is rare (about once in a decade) and remarkably beautiful.
