香港街道上空的日食

Explanation: On June 21 an annular solar eclipse came soon after the solstice and our fair planet’s northernmost sunset for 2020. At maximum eclipse, the New Moon in silhouette created a ring of fire visible along a narrow path at most 85 kilometers wide. The annular eclipse path began in central Africa, crossed south Asia and China, and ended over the Pacific Ocean. But a partial eclipse of the Sun was visible over a much broader region. In Hong Kong, this busy section of Jordan Street looks to the northwest, well-aligned with the track of the near solstice afternoon Sun. The street level view was composited with an eclipse sequence made with a safe solar filter on the camera. For that location the eclipse was partial. The Moon covered about 90 percent of the Sun’s diameter at maximum, seen near the middle of the eclipse sequence.

说明：6月21日的夏至之后，地球迎来日环食和2020年最北的日落。食甚之时，新月的剪影在最宽为85公里的狭窄食带内，造成了火之环的奇景。这道环食带起始于非洲中部，然后切过南亚和中国，最后终止于太平洋。不过在一片更广袤的区域内，可以见到日偏食。这幅摄于香港繁忙的佐顿道，眺望西北与食带重合的下午影像可为见证。这张街道景观，组合自透过太阳减光滤镜拍摄的一系列日食影像。该地点所见的日偏食，如系列影像的中间所示，在食甚时，月亮遮掩了约90%的太阳直径（亦即最大食分约为0.9）。
