Ghanaians have been urged to prepare for this weekend�s partial hybrid solar eclipse.
Ghana and other parts of West Africa will on November 3, experience the natural phenomenon.
A partial hybrid solar eclipse is a stellar spectacle where there is a maximum partial covering of the Sun by the Moon.
It will happen at 22 minutes past 1 p.m. that day. Barring any rains or cloudy weather, Ghanaians will see the normal afternoon sunny light being dimmed for about one-and-half minutes.
About 80 to 85 percent of the Sun�s face would be covered by the Moon.
A member of the African Astronomical Society, Prof Emmanuel Amamoo-Otchere in an interview with XYZ News said Ghanaians must not forget their eye-shades when watching the phenomenon.
