See it on NASA's siteThis image captures a partial solar eclipse as seen from Fremantle, Australia. The Moon obscures a large portion of the Sun's lower limb. Above the eclipse, a band of clouds divides the Sun horizontally. An airplane, caught in transit, adds a fourth element to this sunrise spectacle.
