2021 年末，發生了一次只有在地球末端才能看到的日全食。 為了捕捉這一不尋常的現象，飛機在南大洋雲霧繚繞的海景下飛行。這張特寫圖片展示了一次較為壯觀的拍攝，亮點是太陽的外冕，食月則被視為中心的黑點。 影像左側和底部可見飛機的機翼和發動機，最左側可見另一架觀測日食的飛機。日食周圍的天空暗區稱為陰影錐。之所以稱其為暗區，是因為您看到的是被月球陰影籠罩的一條長長的空中走廊。仔細觀察被食的太陽，會發現水星就在右邊。您不必走到地球的盡頭就能看到下一次日全食。日全食路徑將於 2024 年 4 月 8 日穿過北美，距離今天只有一週多的時間。 NASA 報道： 2024 年 4 月 8 日的日全食
原文：In late 2021 there was a total solar eclipse visible only at the end of the Earth. To capture the unusual phenomenon, airplanes took flight below the clouded seascape of Southern Ocean. The featured image shows one relatively spectacular capture where the bright spot is the outer corona of the Sun and the eclipsing Moon is seen as the dark spot in the center. A wing and engine of the airplane are visible across the left and bottom of the image, while another airplane observing the eclipse is visible on the far left. The dark area of the sky surrounding the eclipsed Sun is called a shadow cone. It is dark because you are looking down a long corridor of air shadowed by the Moon. A careful inspection of the eclipsed Sun will reveal the planet Mercury just to the right. You won't have to travel to the end of the Earth to see the next total solar eclipse. The total eclipse path will cross North America on 2024 April 8, just over one week from today. NASA Coverage: Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 April 8
