Explanation:
The Sun and Moon rose together
over much of Europe on the morning
of
May 31st with the
first solar eclipse of 2003 already in progress.
And while sightings of the full annular phase of the
eclipse were restricted to
far northern regions,
early morning risers were still treated to
inspiring views of two
celestial bodies which are most
important to life on planet Earth.
Following the dawn's spectacle from Charneux,
Belgium, astrophotographer Olivier Meeckers
recorded this evocative image of the partially eclipsed
Sun rising above a primeval apparition
of mists and trees.
Last month was indeed a rewarding one
for eclipse
watchers as May's full Moon and (second) new Moon lined up for their
respective
lunar and
solar eclipses.
November 2003 will also host both a total lunar and
total solar eclipse.
