“Time-Lapse: A Total Solar Eclipse” is copyrighted by Colin Legg. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis time-lapse movie captures a total solar eclipse in dramatic detail, as seen from Australia last month. As the Moon moves to cover the Sun, darkness sweeps in, and at totality, only the bright solar corona extends past the Moon's edges. The video vividly depicts the shift from slight dimming to complete darkness.
