Explanation:
A dark Sun hung over Queensland, Australia on Wednesday morning during a much
anticipated total solar eclipse. Storm clouds threatened to spoil the view
along the northern coast, but minutes before totality the clouds parted.
Streaming past the Moon's edge, the last direct rays of sunlight produced a
gorgeous diamond ring effect in this scene from Ellis Beach between Cairns and
Port Douglas. Winking out in a moment, the diamond didn't last forever though.
The area was plunged into darkness for nearly 2 minutes as the Moon's shadow
swept off shore toward Australia's Great Barrier Reef and out into the southern
Pacific. Ranging from 1/4000 to 1/15 seconds long, five separate exposures were
blended in the image to create a presentation similar to the breathtaking
visual experience of the eclipse.
