Astronomy lecturer Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) Premana W. Premadi said its primary hybrid solar eclipse in the form of partial solar eclipses and total solar eclipses in the territory of Indonesia. "In fact, a rare event and of course Indonesia is very lucky to get a total solar eclipse," he said at a press conference at the Planetarium and the Jakarta Observatory (POJ), quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 6.Premana who served as the Head of Bosscha Observatory said the next total solar eclipse phenomenon would return across Indonesia in 2042.

"We are also astronomically able to calculate forward or backward whenever eclipses occur and when again eclipses will occur," said Premana. Furthermore, he explained that eclipse events are important to be studied as part of science, especially the total solar eclipse because the accuracy and accuracy of position can be calculated very carefully. "It is an opportunity to study science, very unique mathematics," said Premana. The solar eclipse occurs during the passing between the sun and the sun, so that sunlight is partially or completely blocked by the moon plate. It is found that several types of solar eclipses, total solar eclipses, ring eclipses, partial solar eclipses, and hybrid solar eclipses. Hybrid solar eclipses occur when in one time an eclipsing phenomenon there is an area experiencing a total solar eclipse and there is also a total of 80 eclipses in the category of soros 129. The appearance depends on the location of the observer. The occurrence of eclipses is also accompanied by maximum tidal events due to the sun's location, the moon, and a practically fresh earth. In addition, the behavior of living beings such as night's animals is also affected or applicable, instantly sheltering because of a bright day dark like night. Hybrid solar eclipses on April 20, 2023, is the 52nd eclipse of a total of 80 eclipses in the category of solar eclipse cycles.

Then, Seram Regency in Maluku, precisely on Oeta Island, Watubela Islands.

Furthermore, Fakfak Regency in West Papua which is located on Antalisa Island, Faur Island, Karas Island, and Rowatte Island.

The total solar eclipse can also be seen in Teluk Bintuni Regency, West Papua, precisely in Soetoeri, Ritoware 'Aramasa.

Then, the Yapen Islands in Papua, precisely on Num Island, Japen Island (Wooi, Gesauer, Saribi).

In addition, a total solar eclipse can also be seen in Biak Numfor Regency in Papua, namely Biak Island (Marjen, Waroi, Parieri, Oerfoe, Jendidori, Mokmer, Mandon, Saba, Arires, Akraak, Saoeaba, Menoerwar, Owi Island).Persentase of solar disk occultation during the peak of the eclipse in Biak by 100 percent, Jakarta (Planetarium and Jakarta Observatory) by 38.9 percent, and Anyer (Cikoneng Mercusuar Complex) by 36.2 percent.

The sun eclipse in Biak, Papua Province, lasted for 3 hours 5 minutes with a total duration of only 58 seconds of the solar eclipse.

Meanwhile in Jakarta, the duration of the initial contact until the end lasted for 2 hours 37 minutes. Meanwhile in Anyer, Serang Regency, Banten Province, the duration of the eclipse lasted for 2 hours 33 minutes. Globally, there was a maximum eclipse, namely when the shadow axis of the moon passed closest to the center of the earth which took place on April 20, 2023 at 04:16 UT or 11:16 WIB or 12:16 WITA or 13:16 WIT.
