Solar eclipse. Computer artwork of the diamond ring effect of a total solar eclipse (centre left) seen above the astronomical telescope domes (lower centre) at Mauna Kea,Hawaii,USA. The diamond ring effect,observed at the beginning and end of a total solar eclipse,is caused by the first and last glimpse of the Sun shining through valleys on the limb of the Moon. A solar eclipse is caused by the alignment of the Moon between the Earth and the Sun,blocking out the Sun's light from regions on Earth that lie in the Moon's shadow. A total eclipse,as seen here,is possible because the diameters of the Sun and Moon appear similar from Earth | |
