Unique photos of the march Full Solar Eclipse



Wow, now this is what I call an eclipse photo! 

In the Arctic's Svalbard islands  Solar Wind researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa  sat up camp in March, in hopes of capturing images of the Sun's corona, or that aura of plasma surrounding the sun.

This close up photo is a composite of 29 separate shots.

Lunar Eclipse


The next eclipse is right around the corner: Saturday, March 3, 2007. The phenomenon will be visible from parts of all seven continents including the eastern half of North America. Unfortunately, Alaska and eastern portions of Australia will not be able to view this particular eclipse. In the USA, the eclipse will already be underway when the moon rises on Saturday evening. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.
