Taken from the South of Anaa Atoll on the Astro Expeditions tour. A small section from the main group set off on a pre-dawn convoy of 3 small but very powerful speedboats for a bone jarring 20 miles trip to the South of the remote Atoll where we enjoyed an extra 30 seconds of totality in stunning surroundings. Canon 40D, 24mm lens, 1/15th Sec.

Eclipse 2010 Composite A solar eclipse photo (gray and white) from the Williams College Expedition to Easter Island in the South Pacific (July 11, 2010) was embedded into an image of the Sun's outer corona taken by the Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) and shown in red false color. LASCO uses a disk to blot out the bright sun and the inner corona so that the faint outer corona can be monitored and studied. Further, the dark silhouette of the moon was covered with an image of the Sun taken in extreme ultraviolet light at about the same time by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The composite brings out the correlation of structures in the inner and outer corona. Credits: Williams College Eclipse Expedition -- Jay M. Pasachoff, Muzhou Lu, and Craig Malamut; SOHO’s LASCO image courtesy of NASA/ESA and Naval Research Laboratory; solar disk image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory; compositing by Steele Hill, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
