Eclipse Flyby

Explanation: On June 10 a New Moon passed in front of the Sun. In silhouette only two days after reaching apogee, the most distant point in its elliptical orbit, the Moon’s small apparent size helped create an annular solar eclipse. The brief but spectacular annular phase of the eclipse shows a bright solar disk as a ring of fire when viewed along its narrow, northerly shadow track across planet Earth. Cloudy early morning skies along the US east coast held gorgeous views of a partially eclipsed Sun though. Rising together Moon and Sun are captured in a sequence of consecutive frames near maximum eclipse in this digital composite, seen from Quincy Beach south of Boston, Massachusetts. The serendipitous sequence follows the undulating path of a bird in flight joining the Moon in silhouette with the rising Sun.

说明: 在6月10日那天，新月通过太阳的前方。影像中以剪影之姿现身的月亮，在椭圆轨道上，刚通过离地球最远的远地点2天，因此它较小的视张角，为我们带来日环食的景观。从通过地球近北极区的狭窄食带看出去，在日食短暂但精彩的环食阶段，可见到形如火之环的明亮日盘。不过，在美国东岸的多云早晨天空中，还是可以见到精采的日偏食。诸如这幅摄于美国麻萨诸塞州波斯顿市．昆西海滩的数位组合影像，就记录了最大食分附近，月亮和太阳携手滑过天空的景观。在这幅意外拍下的影像序列里，有只鸟以波浪状的飞行途径掠过，其剪影与月亮一同遮掩了东升的旭日。
