Solar Eclipse 1

Eclipse of the Sun is a breathtaking experience for us, earthlings. When the Moon is in a perfect visual alignment with the Sun one can glimpse (safely) the Sun’s Corona.  The Corona makes a circular pattern that radiates from behind the Moon. This pattern is an illusion of order as much as an eclipse. In reality the Sun and the Moon are millions of miles apart. And yet they are bound into one beautiful view by our observation.
