Explanation:
In skies over Brisbane at the southeastern corner  
of Queensland, Australia,  
Planet Earth, the Sun and New Moon set  
together on April 29.  
  
There the celestial line-up, the first solar  
eclipse of 2014,  
was seen as a  
partial solar eclipse.  
  
This dramatic composite is a digital stack of images taken  
about 5 minutes apart with telephoto lens and solar filter.  
  
It follows the eclipse in progress, approaching a western horizon  
where crepuscular rays from  
cloud banks in silhouette joined the silhouetted Moon.  
  
From Brisbane, the maximum eclipse phase with the  
Moon covering about 25% of the Sun occurred  
just after sunset.  
  
Only from a remote spot on the continent of Antarctica was it  
even possible to see the eclipse in its brief annular phase,  
the entire dark lunar disk surrounded by a thin,  
bright ring of fire.
