復活節島上空的火環
Ring of Fire over Easter Island

2024 年的第二次日食始於太平洋。 10 月 2 日，月影自西向東掠過，沿著一條狹窄的反影路徑可以看到日環食，日環食主要經過海洋，在南美洲南端附近登陸，然後在大西洋南部結束。戲劇性的全環食階段被一些人稱為 "火環"。月球的本影也穿過南太平洋的島嶼，擦過復活節島，使島上居民可以看到環食的所有階段。在棕櫚樹葉的襯托下，這個清晰的島嶼景象是由兩張圖片疊加而成的，一張是在最大環食階段附近使用太陽濾鏡拍攝的，另一張則沒有使用。新月的輪廓剛好偏離中心，但仍被活動太陽的明亮圓盤吞沒。
原文：The second solar eclipse of 2024 began in the Pacific. On October 2nd the Moon's shadow swept from west to east, with an annular eclipse visible along a narrow antumbral shadow path tracking mostly over ocean, making its only major landfall near the southern tip of South America, and then ending in the southern Atlantic. The dramatic total annular eclipse phase is known to some as a ring of fire. Also tracking across islands in the southern Pacific, the Moon's antumbral shadow grazed Easter Island allowing denizens to follow all phases of the annular eclipse. Framed by palm tree leaves this clear island view is a stack of two images, one taken with and one taken without a solar filter near the moment of the maximum annular phase. The New Moon's silhouette appears just off center, though still engulfed by the bright disk of the active Sun.
