A Partial Eclipse Over Manila Bay
Explanation: What's happened to the setting Sun? An eclipse! In early 2009, the Moon eclipsed part of the Sun as visible from parts of
Africa, Australia, and Asia. In particular the
featured image, taken from the
Mall of Asia seawall, caught a partially eclipsed Sun setting over
Manila Bay in the
Philippines. Piers are visible in
silhouette in the foreground.
Eclipse chasers and well placed
sky enthusiasts captured
many other interesting and artistic images of the year's only
annular solar eclipse, including
movies,
eclipse shadow arrays, and
rings of fire. On Thursday parts of the
Sun again will become briefly blocked by the Moon,
again visible to some as a
partial eclipse of the Sun.
Thursday's eclipse, however, will only be visible from parts of southern South America and Antarctica.
