Partial solar eclipse
Partial solar eclipse, seen through clouds. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon (dark area on left edge of Sun) passes across the Sun as seen from the Earth. The Moons shadow consists of a dark central umbra surrounded by the lighter penumbra. A total eclipse is seen from an area on Earth that falls within the umbra. A partial eclipse is seen from within the penumbra region. Photographed on 1 August 2008, in Duisburg, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment of a partial solar eclipse, as seen through the veil of clouds. The celestial phenomenon occurs when the Moon gracefully glides across the face of the Sun from our vantage point on Earth. In this image, we can discern the dark silhouette of the Moon encroaching upon the left edge of our radiant star. The shadow cast by our lunar companion is composed of two distinct regions: a central umbra that appears ominously dark and surrounded by a lighter penumbra. It is within this penumbra region that observers are treated to a partial eclipse, while those fortunate enough to find themselves in an area covered by the umbra experience a total eclipse. Taken on 1 August 2008 in Duisburg, Germany, this photograph showcases nature's awe-inspiring display against an overcast sky. Despite being partially obscured by clouds, both celestial bodies manage to captivate viewers with their ethereal beauty and astronomical significance. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with space exploration and our profound connection to cosmic events. As we gaze at this image captured by Science Photo Library, let us marvel at the wonders unfolding above us and appreciate how they continue to inspire scientific curiosity around the world.
