Explanation:
September's eclipse
of the Sun is documented in the 68 frames of this timelapse composite.
Starting at 1pm local time a frame every 4 minutes
follow's the progress
of the New Moon across the solar disk.
Taken near the centerline of the narrow eclipse path, the
series of exposures ends with a golden sunset.
Balanced
rock cairns in the foreground line a beach on the
southern side of Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, near
the village of Etang-Salé.
Of course, the close balance in
apparent size creates
drama in eclipses of
the Sun by the Moon as seen from planet Earth.
In an annular eclipse,
the Moon's silhouette is just small enough
to show the solar disk as a narrow ring-of-fire at maximum
eclipse phase.
