Explanation:
This month's New Moon brought a total solar eclipse to parts of planet Earth on
November 13 (UT). Most of the total eclipse track fell across the southern
Pacific, but the Moon's dark umbral shadow began its journey in northern
Australia on Wednesday morning, local time. From along the track, this
telescopic snapshot captures the Moon's silhouette in skies over Queensland
along the Mulligan highway west of Port Douglas. Almost completely covered, the
Sun's disk is seen still surrounded by a hint of the faint solar corona.
Planet-sized prominences stretch above the active Sun's edge. Sunlight
streaming through gaps in the rugged profile of the lunar limb creates the
brilliant but fleeting Baily's Beads.
