See it on NASA's siteThis image shows a shirt adorned with multiple images of a solar eclipse. The effect happens when small gaps, like those between leaves on a tree, act as pinhole cameras. This particular eclipse was a partial solar eclipse visible from the South African Astronomical Observatory in Cape Town on January 26, 2009. That year was designated the International Year of Astronomy.
