Explanation: If the Sun is up but the sky is dark and the horizon is bright all around, you might be standing in the Moon’s shadow during a total eclipse of the Sun. In fact, the all-sky Moon shadow shown in this composited panoramic view was captured from a farm near Shirley, Arkansas, planet Earth. The exposures were made under clear skies during the April 8 total solar eclipse. For that location near the center line of the Moon’s shadow track, totality lasted over 4 minutes. Along with the solar corona surrounding the silhouette of the Moon planets and stars were visible during the total eclipse phase. Easiest to see here are bright planets Venus and Jupiter, to the lower right and upper left of the eclipsed Sun.

说明: 如果太阳在天空中，不过天空却是暗的，而四周的地平线反而很明亮，那么你可能是站在日全食期间的月影里。这幅组合全景影像所呈现的全天月影，系摄于地球阿肯色州雪丽村附近的一座农场。而组合出这幅全天图的照片，则是在4月8日的日全食期间记录于清朗的天空下。从这个紧邻月影带中心线的地点看出去，日全食持续了4分多钟。在全食阶段，除了月亮剪影周围的日冕之外，还能看到行星和恒星。其中最容易辨认的，是位于全食日右下方及左上方的明亮金星和木星。
