Explanation:
In dramatic silhouette against a cloudy daytime sky over Paris, France,
gargoyles cast their monstrous gaze outward from the
west
facade
of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Taken
on March 29,
this telephoto snapshot also captures the
dramatic silhouette
of a New Moon against the bright solar disk in a
partial solar eclipse.
Happening high in Parisian skies, the partial eclipse was close to its
maximum phase of about 23 percent.
Occurring near the end of the first
eclipse season
of 2025, this partial solar eclipse followed the total eclipse of the
Full Moon on March 13/14.
The upcoming
second eclipse season of 2025 will see a total lunar eclipse
on September 7/8 and partial solar eclipse on September 21.
The partial solar eclipse will be seen only from locations
in planet Earth's southern hemisphere.
