Explanation:
The New Moon's
dark shadow crossed planet Earth on September 1.
In silhouette the Moon didn't quite cover the Sun though, creating an an
annular solar eclipse.
The shadow's narrow central path was about 100 kilometers wide at
maximum eclipse.
Beginning in the South Atlantic, it
tracked toward
the east across Africa, ending in the Indian Ocean.
Waiting on the Indian Ocean's Reunion
Island, eclipse watchers enjoyed a view just north of the
eclipse centerline, the annular phase lasting a few minutes or less.
Clouds threaten the nearly eclipsed Sun but create a
dramatic sky in this partial phase snapshot from the
northern side of the 50 kilometer wide island.
