Explanation:
On January 6 the New Moon rose in silhouette with the Sun
seen from northeastern Asia.
Near maximum, the dramatic partial solar eclipse
is captured in this telephoto view through hazy skies.
In the foreground, the hill top Wanchun pavilion overlooking
central Beijing's popular
Forbidden City
hosts eclipse-watching early morning risers.
This was the first of five, three solar and two lunar,
eclipses
for 2019.
Next up is a
total lunar eclipse
during this month's Full Perigee Moon.
At night on January 21,
that celestial shadow play
will be visible from the hemisphere of planet Earth
that includes the Americas, Europe, and western Africa.
