Eclipse over the grand canyon

Obviously, I did not take this photo. But when I saw it, I had to share it!

Wow...it doesn't look quite earthly, really.

That so so cool! Did you take the picture?

@Musicman No, I found it on FB.

@DrWatson That's ok. It still looks good 😊
I love it, doc! Thanks for sharing! :)
Why do you say "obviously?" Are you confined to a prison?

Watch your step!
Woah ! That’s worthy of framing and hanging on the wall. 😃

Reminds me of that scene on Mars in the movie total recall

It’s friggin awesome 😍
@Elanor What about the movie, Robinson Crusoe on Mars?
That does not look like Earth.

What we see in that photo is called an "annular solar eclipse" which is different than what we experienced today. The moon in your photo which is only partially blocking the sun despite it covering the center of the sun, is further away from the earth in it's lunar orbit than it is during a full solar eclipse when it's closer to earth. This is evidenced by the visible ring from the sun in your photo which is not otherwise visible during a full solar eclipse like we had today.

@DrWatson
@SandWitch actually explained it as good as I can, probably better!

Oh stop trying to butter me up!

@SandWitch
Butter? I never thought of butter! I'm into mud wrestling if that sparks your interest!
