Palm Tree Partial Eclipse

Explanation: Only those along the narrow track of the Moon’s shadow on April 8 saw a total solar eclipse. But most of North America still saw a partial eclipse of the Sun. From Clearwater, Florida, USA this single snapshot captured multiple images of that more widely viewed celestial event without observing the Sun directly. In the shade of a palm tree, criss-crossing fronds are projecting recognizable eclipse images on the ground, pinhole camera style. In Clearwater the maximum eclipse phase was about 53 percent.

说明: 4月8日，只有在月影扫过的狭窄全食带里，才有福见到日全食。不过，大部分的北美洲地区可见到日偏食。这幅摄于美国佛罗里达州清水市的快照，虽然并未直视太阳，却能记录到大部分北美地区所见到日食景观。在棕榈树的影子里，纵横交错的狭长棕榈叶，以类似针孔相机的形式，把轻易可辨的偏食日投影在地面。从清水市看出去，日食的最大食分约为百分之53。
