Explanation:
Only those
along
the narrow track
of the Moon's shadow on April 8 saw a total solar eclipse.
But most of North America still saw a partial eclipse of the Sun.
From Clearwater, Florida, USA this
single snapshot captured multiple images of that
more widely viewed celestial event without observing the Sun directly.
In the shade
of a palm tree, criss-crossing fronds
are projecting recognizable eclipse images on the ground,
pinhole
camera style.
In Clearwater the maximum eclipse phase was about 53 percent.
