A Partial Eclipse Over Manila Bay

What's happened to the setting Sun? An eclipse! Two days ago, the Moon eclipsed
part of the Sun as visible from parts of Africa, Australia, and Asia. In particular the
above image, taken from the Mall of Asia seawall, caught a partially eclipsed Sun
setting over Manila Bay in the Philippines. Piers are visible in silhouette in the
foreground. Eclipse chasers and well placed sky enthusiasts captured many other
interesting and artistic images of the year's only annular solar eclipse, including movies,
eclipse shadow arrays, and rings of fire. Another partial solar eclipse will be visible from
the Philippines in July. That event, however, will likely be better remembered as a total
solar eclipse visible to those occupying a long thin swath of Earth that starts in India and
extends through China into the Pacific Ocean.
