This dramatic
skyscape was recorded during the
August 2008 total solar eclipse. The Moon's silhouette surrounded by a
glistening solar corona hangs above the Jiayuguan Fort along the western edge of
the Great Wall of China. Lined-up along the
ecliptic plane, all the planets of the inner solar system, Mercury, Venus,
Mars, (and Earth!) can also be seen along with
Saturn and bright star Regulus, as the
Moon's shadow tracks across the landscape.
