A hybrid eclipse of the Sun occurred on Saturday 6 June, 1807 UT (25 May, 1807 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 05:18 UT. A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 21 km wide and lasted for 38 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
The hybrid eclipse lasted for 38 seconds.
Maximum eclipse was at 05:18:19 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun was 0.525° in apparent
diameter, 1.5% smaller than average. The Moon was 7 days after apogee and 6 days before perigee.
At the start and end of the eclipse, the Moon was
0.520°, which is smaller than the Sun;
hence the eclipse was annular at that point.
However, at maximum eclipse the Moon was
0.528° in apparent diameter, which is
0.6% smaller than average, large enough to cover the Sun; and so a
total eclipse was seen at that point. Thus
this was a hybrid eclipse.
The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of
the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed
information on the Moon's key dates.

The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a
percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0%
is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the
Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is
the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee).
