“A Distorted Sunrise Eclipse” is copyrighted by Elias Chasiotis. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Sun rising in two pieces during a partial eclipse. This unusual sight happened because of a layer of warm air over the sea, which bent the light like a lens. The Moon is the dark circle near the top, and also the dark peak below it.
