Members of the Rendile tribe in Sibiloi National Park in northern Kenya enjoy a rare "hybrid" eclipse, thus termed because the extent to which the sun is obscured varies depending on the location from which it was viewed. According to NASA, the point of greatest possible eclipse lay 330 km (205 miles) southwest of Liberia over the Atlantic Ocean, where it lasted one minute and forty seconds. By contrast, Kenyans only had 11 seconds to catch the spectacle on Sunday Nov. 3.
