Timelapse image of a total solar eclipse

Solar eclipse. Time-lapse image of a total solar eclipse. 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, white), which is normally invisible due to the brightness of the Suns surface. The corona is a wide layer of very thin hydrogen gas at a high temperature. Photographed during the eclipse of 7 March 1970 over Windsor in North Carolina, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a total solar eclipse in all its glory. The time-lapse image showcases the remarkable phenomenon where the Moon completely obscures the Sun's disc, plunging the world into an unexpected darkness during daylight hours. This rare occurrence offers a unique opportunity to witness and study 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 very thin hydrogen gas at high temperatures becomes visible thanks to the shielding effect of our celestial neighbor. The ethereal corona appears as a delicate white halo surrounding the darkened silhouette of our Moon. Taken on 7th March 1970 over Windsor in North Carolina, USA, this photograph is not just a stunning visual spectacle but also holds immense scientific significance. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding about our universe. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded that there is still so much left for us to explore and unravel in astronomy and cosmology. Let it inspire us to continue pushing boundaries and uncovering new wonders hidden within our vast cosmos.
