Annular solar eclipse
Annular solar eclipse. Montage image of the sun (white) during an annular solar eclipse, showing the varying position of the moon (black) as it passes in front of the sun and out again, from top left to bottom right. This image was obtained with an H-alpha filter, which reveals the chromosphere, a reddish layer of the Suns atmosphere. This layer is much brighter than, and drowns out, the fainter corona (outermost layer) that is seen in a total solar eclipse. Photographed in Denia, Spain, on 3rd October 2005

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of an annular solar eclipse. The montage image showcases the sun, depicted in white, during different stages of the eclipse as the moon passes in front and then moves away from it. From top left to bottom right, this stunning visual journey reveals the varying positions of the moon against a black background. Photographed in Denia, Spain on October 3rd, 2005, this image was obtained using an H-alpha filter that unveils the chromosphere - a reddish layer within the Sun's atmosphere. This layer appears significantly brighter than its outermost counterpart known as corona which is typically observed during a total solar eclipse. The monochromatic black and white composition adds depth and contrast to this astronomical spectacle. It allows for easy comparison between phases while highlighting intricate shapes formed by both celestial bodies. As we delve into this cosmic masterpiece, we are reminded of our place within the vastness of space and time. This annular solar eclipse serves as a reminder of nature's awe-inspiring wonders that continue to captivate scientists and enthusiasts alike. This remarkable photograph not only showcases scientific excellence but also celebrates human curiosity about our solar system. Its timeless appeal transports us back to that autumn day in Spain when sky gazers were treated to an extraordinary display of celestial harmony.
