空中鑽石
Diamonds in the Sky

4 月 8 日，當月球的黑影掠過北美時，沿著黑影中央狹窄路徑的天空觀測者們看到了日全食。在新月的陰影中，鑽石在日食的黑暗天空中閃爍了兩次。這些短暫的天體寶石出現在日全食階段的前後。這時，在月球邊緣的剪影后面，可以看到消失後又出現的太陽圓盤的光線，就像一顆閃亮的鑽石鑲嵌在黑暗的圓環中。這幅來自阿肯色州中北部的戲劇性延時合成照片捕捉到了這次日全食的兩個鑽石環時刻。全食期間，日冕的空靈之美將鑽石環隔開。
原文：When the dark shadow of the Moon raced across North America on April 8, sky watchers along the shadow's narrow central path were treated to a total solar eclipse. During the New Moon's shadow play diamonds glistened twice in the eclipse-darkened skies. The transient celestial jewels appeared immediately before and after the total eclipse phase. That's when the rays of a vanishing and then emerging sliver of solar disk are just visible behind the silhouetted Moon's edge, creating the appearance of a shiny diamond set in a dark ring. This dramatic timelapse composite from north-central Arkansas captures both diamond ring moments of this total solar eclipse. The diamond rings are separated by the ethereal beauty of the solar corona visible during totality.
