Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
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

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
