Nice to see the diamonds of the two rings on diametrically opposite sides through the center, as god intended. (Yeah, I know Chris has pointed out that it might not appear like this in other totality locations.) [size=1[url=https://papas-games.io]papa's games[/url][/size]

A total solar eclipse may be both thrilling and incredibly moving. What, nevertheless, triggers a total solar eclipse?

The Moon is seen to move in front of the Sun as seen from some parts of the Earth. The Moon is never seen to cover the entire disk of the Sun from every part of the Earth at once, because the Moon is too small for that.

Superb. Magnificent. Appropriate music, never heard it before.

The caption credits some guy named Strauss for the music but due credit might belong to someone else.
Who knows, maybe a total eclipse seen sideways looks like this:

[b] Explanation: [/b] This is how the Sun disappeared from the daytime sky last month. The [url=https://youtu.be/28gtfSziCgU]featured time-lapse video[/url] was created from stills taken from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_View,_Arkansas]Mountain View[/url], [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkansas]Arkansas[/url], [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States]USA[/url] on 2024 April 8. First, a small sliver of a normally [url=https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/solar-activity/]spotted Sun[/url] went strangely dark. Within a few minutes, much of the background [url=https://science.nasa.gov/sun/]Sun[/url] was hidden behind the advancing foreground [url=https://science.nasa.gov/moon/]Moon[/url]. Within an hour, the only rays from the Sun [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230917.html]passing the Moon[/url] appeared like a [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240420.html]diamond ring[/url]. During totality, most of the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240331.html]surrounding sky went dark[/url], making the bright [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240414.html]pink prominences[/url] around the Sun's edge stand out, and making the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230516.html]amazing corona[/url] appear to spread into the surrounding sky. The central view of the [url=https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/origin-corona's-light]corona[/url] shows an accumulation of frames taken during complete totality. As the video ends, just a few minutes later, [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap060330.html]another diamond ring[/url] appeared -- this time on the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon]other side of the Moon[/url]. Within the next hour, the sky [url=https://static9.depositphotos.com/1062590/1212/i/450/depositphotos_12126489-Funny-ginger-cat-wearing-sunglasses-and-relaxing-on-a-coach.jpg]returned to normal[/url].
