Solar Eclipse
By Anonymous — Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012
Images of Sunday's Annular Solar eclipse from Ivins, Utah by Charles Morris and Carmelita Miranda. This first image shows the moon starting to cover the Sun. Sunspots can easily be seen on the disk of the Sun. This second image is just prior to annular phase. This last image is at the maximum eclipse. The annular portion is not circular because we were south of the eclipse's centerline. If you look carefully you can see that the moon's limb is not smooth. There are mountains and valleys. |
