A Solar Eclipse Unlike Any Other.



This is not an artist's rendering or a photo of a star in another solar system. The photograph actually shows our moon passing in front of the sun, as seen from 1.6 million kilometers behind the earth. Link

This is a still picture of a short clip taken by NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft. It was a clip of the lunar transit of the sun. You can watch the clip here:
