Description
This is a photograph of a partial solar eclipse that occurred on October 23,2014. A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in it's orbit between the Earth and the Sun thereby blocking the Sun and casting a shadow over the Earth.
The prism effect you see in the photograph is cause by the sunlight shining on the layer's of exposed x-ray film I use to cover my camera lens with to tone down the brightness of the Sun. I also cover my viewfinder to protect my eyes.
The Sun can damage your eyes rather quickly if you look at it directly during an event such as this. There are expensive filters and equipment you can purchase for these events.
Ingenuity is My Bestfriend hence the x-ray film :D
The black dot's you see in the middle of the Sun is a Spectacular Sunspot I was fortunate enough to capture. This Photograph is featured in CNN Stars and Space Section.
