A partial Solar eclipse is seen just after sunrise over the Queens borough of New York across the East River on November 3, 2013 in New York.

Sunday’s sunrise appeared with a rare, “hybrid” solar eclipse, visible throughout the East Coast and spanning as far west as eastern Ohio, eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee and parts of Georgia.

The eclipse rose over eastern skies at about 6:30 a.m., and was one of only two to occur this year, USA Today reports.

The next opportunity to spot a complete solar eclipse in the U.S. will be Aug. 21, 2017.
