The Devil In The Horizon

Belmar, New Jersey — The horns of the Devil seemed to have appeared on the horizon on the 10th of June. The reason for this stunning phenomenon was the Moon’s partial silhouette, which gave the Sun a crescent shape. Atmospheric refraction, which flattened and distorted the solar disk, also had a hand in this event.

But at its full annular phase this eclipsed Sun looked like a ring of fire in the heavens.

Magnificent.
