A Total Solar Eclipse over Turkey
影像版權與提供: Stefan Seip
Explanation:
One spectacular view occurred over Adrasan (near Antalya), Turkey and was captured there by industrious astrophotographer Stefan Seip. The above digital mosaic caught the Moon in several stages as it moved between the Earth and the Sun. During the center frame, a total solar eclipse was visible, the Moon completely blocked the Sun, the area became dark, and the magnificent corona of the Sun became visible. The foreground frame from the same location was taken during sunlight. The next total eclipse of the Sun will occur in August 2008 and be visible from parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.
說明:
這幅精彩的範例拍攝於土耳其．安達爾耶附近的安卓山，攝影者是勤勉的天文攝影家Stefan Seip。這張數位影像記錄了月亮穿過太陽與地球之間的數個階段；在最中間的定格，可見到月亮完全遮掩太陽的日全食，當時全黑的月面週圍鑲著太陽壯觀的日冕。前景是在有陽光時拍攝的，它也是其他定格拍攝的同一位位置。下次的日全食將出現在2008年8月，可見的地點為北美洲、歐洲和亞洲的部份地區。(安達爾耶 -- Antalya, 安卓山 -- Adrasan)
