The moon passes between the earth and the sun to cause an annular eclipse as seen from in Venezuela's Andean village of Macigual in western state of Merida, 730 km from Caracas, April 8, 2005. This eclipse seen as complete only from a narrow corridor in Panama, Colombia and Venezuela, is a rare occurrence known as a hybrid eclipse, due to the fact that parts of the path are annular, leaving a ring of the sun visible around the moon, and other parts total.
