Explanation: On the morning of
November 14, sky gazers from around the world gathered on this little planet to
stand in the dark umbral shadow of the Moon. Of course, the Moon cast the
shadow during last month's total solar eclipse, and the little planet is
actually a beach on Green Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The
picture itself, the first little planet projection of a total solar eclipse, is
a digitally warped and stitched wrap-around of 8 images covering 360x180
degrees. To make it, the intrepid photographer had to remember to shoot both
toward and away(!) from the eclipse during the excitement of totality. Near
this little planet's horizon, the eclipsed Sun is just above center, surrounded
by the glowing solar corona. Venus can be spotted in the shadow-darkened sky
toward the top of the frame. At bottom right, bright star Sirius shines at the
tip of an alarmingly tall tree.
