Explanation:
Seen from
central and northern Asia, the Sun and New Moon set together
on January 4, in a partial
solar eclipse.
Close to its maximum phase, the eclipse is captured near the moment of
sunset in this wintry scene from the bank of the Berd River
near Novosibirsk,
Siberia, Russia.
An evocative view in fading light,
the
picture looks toward
the western horizon across a snowy, frozen landscape.
Along with
offset Sun and Moon, the dimmly lit sky includes an industrial
smoke plume and airplane contrail.
