Shadows at Work: The Solar Eclipse of 2012
December 11, 2012
Were you one of the lucky ones to see last month's solar eclipse? The path of "totality" (that is, where the Sun appears completely blocked by the Moon as seen from Earth) went through the northern tip of Australia and across the South Pacific.

We found some excellent photos of this celestial shadow event at this page:

You can get more information on eclipses from NASA.
