When is the 2013 solar eclipse?
Solar Eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and directly blocks the light of the Sun. Because the Moon is located between the Sun and Earth the dark side of the Moon is facing Earth and is in a New Moon Phase. An Annular Solar Eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's antumbral shadow traverses Earth (the Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun). During the maximum phase of an annular eclipse, the Sun appears as a blindingly bright ring surrounding the Moon. An annular eclipse will be visible in Australia, New Zealand, and the Central Pacific on May 10, 2013. A hybrid solar eclipse is a solar eclipse in which the Moon's umbral and antumbral shadows traverse Earth (the eclipse appears annular and total along different sections of its path). Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular-total eclipses. In most cases, hybrid eclipses begin as annular, transform into total, and then revert back to annular before the end of their track. In rare instances, a hybrid eclipse may begin as annular and end total, or vice versa. A hybrid eclipse will be visible in the Eastern Americas, Southern Europse, and Africa occur on November 3, 2012.
Why does a lunar eclipse only happens during the new moon phase?
A "lunar" eclipse can not happen during the new moon phase it can only happen when the moon is full.
What will the moon phase be during a lunar eclipse?
full moon

What phase is the moon in during a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon.
Is the moon closer during an annular eclipse?
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
