Amateur astronomer observing a solar eclipse
Solar eclipse. Amateur astronomer observing a total solar eclipse seen over trees and a temple. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely blocks the Suns disc causing darkness during the day. The shielding effect of the Moon allows observations of the Suns outer atmosphere (corona), which is normally invisible due to the brightness of the Suns surface. The corona is a wide layer of very thin hydrogen gas at very high temperature. Photographed during the eclipse of 24 October 1995 seen from Dundlod in Rajasthan, India

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the awe-inspiring moment of a total solar eclipse as an amateur astronomer immerses himself in the celestial spectacle. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of towering trees and a majestic temple, adding an ethereal touch to the already mesmerizing event. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon perfectly aligns with the Sun, completely obscuring its disc and casting darkness upon our planet during daylight hours. This rare phenomenon allows for unique observations of the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. Normally invisible due to the overwhelming brightness of the Sun's surface, this wide layer of extremely thin hydrogen gas at high temperatures becomes visible during totality. The dedicated amateur astronomer in this image is equipped with his trusty instrument, eagerly capturing every detail that unfolds before him. His passion for astronomy shines through as he takes advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to study and document such a remarkable event. Taken on October 24th, 1995 from Dundlod in Rajasthan, India, this photograph encapsulates both scientific curiosity and natural beauty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily lives, there are moments where nature reveals its grandeur and captivates us all with its cosmic wonders.
