Total solar eclipse
Total solar eclipse. Image of the sun during a total solar eclipse on 29th March 2006. The black lines show the varying position of the moon at it passed in front of the sun. At totality the moon would have fitted completely over the sun and only the suns corona (atmosphere) would have have been visible. The moment of totality lasts for only a few minutes. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year and can only be seen from a small area of the Earths surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of a total solar eclipse that occurred on March 29th, 2006. The image showcases the sun partially covered by the moon, with black lines illustrating the moon's varying position as it passed in front of our star. At totality, which lasts for just a few precious minutes, the moon would have perfectly aligned to completely obscure the sun, revealing only its ethereal corona or atmosphere. Total solar eclipses are rare phenomena that occur less than once a year and can only be witnessed from specific locations on Earth's surface. This mesmerizing snapshot serves as a reminder of both the grandeur and fragility of our place in the universe. The monochrome composition against a black background adds an element of mystery and emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow during this celestial event. It is an extraordinary testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how small we truly are in comparison to the vastness of space. It invites us to contemplate our place within our solar system while marveling at nature's ability to create such breathtaking spectacles like this total solar eclipse from over fifteen years ago.
