Partial Solar Eclipse with Airplane
The solar eclipse, photographed in Fremantle, Australia, appeared soon after dawn and is here photographed behind dark morning clouds with a small airplane in the foreground. Here, the eclipse is only partial, as the moon obscures the large piece of the sun's bottom half as viewed from earth. The eclipse would continue and become annular, leaving only a small ring of the sun appearing from behind the moon's shadow. Also visible in this photo is the earth's atmosphere's effect on our viewing of the sun, dimming its luminosity and causing the sun's edges to look shaky.
