This photograph, compiled from a multitude of separate images taken over a long period of time, shows the sequence of the solar eclipse that occurred on November 14th in Australia. It was taken from Queensland. The photograph shows how the moons shadow partially obscured parts of the sun as it rose, resulting in the total solar eclipse which can be seen in the center of the sequence, where the bright solar corona glows. From this area, the solar eclipse lasted about 2 minutes as the sun moved up across the sky. Then, you can see the shadow of the moon slowly ebb as the sun moves out of its path. I love this photo, as it seamlessly shows the path of the moon and the sun as they seem to collide and then move away.
