This photo was taken thhis morning in Osun state
According to the National Space Research and Development Agency
(NASDRA), the annular eclipse was expected to be experienced by
Nigerians today, 1st September, 2016.
Wikipedia free encyclopedia states that; hybrid eclipse (also
called annular/total eclipse) shifts between a total and annular
eclipse. At certain points on the surface of Earth, it appears as a
total eclipse, whereas at other points it appears as annular. Hybrid
eclipses are comparatively rare.
Photo taken in Osun state
The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) reported that some people
are gathered this morning in the Obasanjo Space Center where NASDRA
Headquarter is cited in Abuja with their EU certified Eclipse glasses
on, to visibly watch the eclipse as it appears.
Disappointingly, the cloud covers the space and people were all
left with dismay as the cloud refused to vanish till the time supposedly
predicted to witness had expired.
Photo captured in Lagos state
Photos culled from social media show how residents in Osun state,
Port Harcourt, Zamfara and Lagos State, witnessed the annular eclipse as
we expect more reports across the country.
