COSMIC MESSAGE
This photo shows a partially eclipsed Sun setting over Manila Bay in the Philippines. Piers are visible in silhouette in the foreground. The Moon passed in front of the Sun, blocking a portion of its light. This event was an annular solar eclipse, meaning the Moon's apparent size was too small to completely cover the Sun, leaving a ring of fire visible.
