What's happened to top of the Sun?
Last week, parts of Earth's southern hemisphere were treated to a
partial solar eclipse, where the
Moon blocks out part of the
Sun.
The featured image was taken toward the end of the eclipse from the coast of
Uruguay overlooking
Argentina's
Buenos Aires.
Light-house adorned
Farallón Island is seen in the foreground,
and a plane is visible just to the left of the Sun.
The image is actually a digital combination of two consecutive exposures taken with the same camera using the same settings -- one taken of the landscape and another of the
background Sun.
The
next solar eclipse visible on
Earth
will be another partial eclipse occurring in mid-July and
visible
from parts of southern
Australia including
Tasmania.
