Solar Eclipse from a Ship
During a rare hybrid solar eclipse, the shadow of the New Moon crossed the Earth's southern hemisphere. This image, taken from a ship in the Indian Ocean, captures the Sun's corona during 62 seconds of totality. Ship-borne observers had a unique vantage point for this event, allowing them to witness the Sun's outer atmosphere.
