巴塔哥尼亚上空的日环食

A person stands looking over a lake. High in a partly cloudy sky is the Sun. A close look at the Sun will show that there is a dark spot in the center — the Moon during an annular eclipse. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
一个人站在湖边眺望。在多云的天空中,太阳高高挂起。仔细观察太阳,会发现中央有一个黑点,这就是日环食时的月球。有关更多详细信息,请参阅说明。

2023年11月1日 Annular Solar Eclipse over Utah Image Credit & Copyright: MaryBeth Kiczenski Explanation: Part of the Sun disappeared earlier this month, but few people were worried. The missing part, which included the center from some locations, just went behind the Moon in what is known as an annular solar eclipse. Featured here is an eclipse sequence taken as the Moon was overtaking the rising Sun in the sky. The foreground hill is Factory Butte in Utah, USA. The rays flaring out from the Sun are not real — they result from camera aperture diffraction and are known as sunstar. The Moon is real, but it is artificially brightened to enhance its outline — which helps the viewer better visualize the Moon’s changing position during this…

2023年10月19日 A Sunrise at Sunset Point Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Ratcliffe Explanation: This timelapse series captured on October 14 is set against the sunrise view from Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon, planet Earth. Of course on that date the New Moon caught up with the Sun in the canyon’s morning skies. Local temperatures fell as the Moon’s shadow swept across the high altitude scene and the brilliant morning sunlight became a more subdued yellow hue cast over the reddish rocky landscape. In the timelapse series, images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The camera and solar filter were fixed to a tripod to follow the phases of the annular solar eclipse.

While aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli took this picture of the Moon passing in front of the Sun during the annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023. As the space station orbits Earth, astronauts take images of the planet below and phenomena in space. Visible in parts of the United States, Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America, millions of people in the Western Hemisphere experienced this eclipse. If you weren’t in the path of the annular eclipse, or you want to relive this exciting event, watch our coverage of the 2023 annular solar eclipse.

2023年10月16日 Eclipse Rings Image Credit & Copyright: Jerry Zhang (left), Baolong Chen (photographer) & Amber Zhang (right) Explanation: She knew everything but the question. She was well aware that there would be a complete annular eclipse of the Sun visible from their driving destination: Lake Abert in Oregon. She knew that the next ring-of-fire eclipse would occur in the USA only in 16 more years, making this a rare photographic opportunity. She was comfortable with the plan: that she and her boyfriend would appear in front of the eclipse in silhouette, sometimes alone, and sometimes together. She knew that the annular phase of this eclipse would last only a few minutes and she helped in the many hours of planning. She could see their friend…

2023年10月5日 Ring of Fire over Monument Valley Image Credit & Copyright: Tunc Tezel (TWAN) Explanation: Tracking along a narrow path, the shadow of a new moon will race across North, Central, and South America, on October 14. When viewed from the shadow path the apparent size of the lunar disk will not quite completely cover the Sun though. Instead, the moon in silhouette will appear during the minutes of totality surrounded by a fiery ring, an annular solar eclipse more dramatically known as a ring of fire eclipse. This striking time lapse sequence from May of 2012 illustrates the stages of a ring of fire eclipse. From before eclipse start until sunset, they are seen over the iconic buttes of planet Earth’s Monument Valley. Remarkably,…

2023年10月1日 A Desert Eclipse Image Credit & Copyright: Maxime Daviron Explanation: A good place to see a ring-of-fire eclipse, it seemed, would be from a desert. In a desert, there should be relatively few obscuring clouds and trees. Therefore late December of 2019, a group of photographers traveled to the United Arab Emirates and Rub al-Khali, the largest continuous sand desert in world, to capture clear images of an unusual eclipse that would be passing over. A ring-of-fire eclipse is an annular eclipse that occurs when the Moon is far enough away on its elliptical orbit around the Earth so that it appears too small, angularly, to cover the entire Sun. At the maximum of an annular eclipse, the edges of the Sun can be…

2023年9月24日 A Ring of Fire Sunrise Solar Eclipse Video Credit: Colin Legg & Geoff Sims; Music: Peter Nanasi Explanation: What’s rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It’s the Sun. Most sunrises don’t look like this, though, because most sunrises don’t include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10, however, from Western Australia, the Moon was between the Earth and the rising Sun. At times, it would be hard for the uninformed to understand what was happening. In an annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block the entire Sun, and at most leaves a ring of fire where sunlight pours out around every edge of the Moon. The featured time-lapse video also recorded the eclipse through the…
