Total solar eclipse. Artwork of people watching the total solar eclipse of 11th August 1999 from the sea around St Michael's Mount,Cornwall,England. The solar corona (white) is visible around the Sun,and one last bead of light is seen at its upper right limb (the diamond ring effect) as the Sun shines through an irregularity on the Moon's surface. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. St Michael's Mount is a 12th century former priory which is an island at high tide | |
