Total solar eclipse. Composite of images of the Sun and Moon during the total solar eclipse of 11th August 1999. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun,and the shadow of the Moon crosses the Earth. The Moon is seen in front of the Sun at upper left and bottom right. A time-lapse sequence of the Sun passing behind the Moon is also seen. A total solar eclipse can only occur during the New Moon phase of the lunar cycle. During a solar eclipse the corona of the Sun (white) is seen. This is its outer atmosphere,usually invisible due to the glare from the Sun's surface | |
