Explanation:
Pictured above is a total solar eclipse, with the
Sun's
corona,
clearly visible surrounding the
Moon. This picture is a
composite
of differently exposed photos of an eclipse that occurred on July 11, 1991.
Today there will be another total eclipse of the
Sun, the last until March
1997. The path of today's total eclipse will begin in the Middle East,
move though southern China, and end in the Pacific Ocean south of the
Marshall Islands. Those only near the path will see a partial solar
eclipse.
NASA keeps detailed
maps
of the predicted path of the eclipse.
