Total solar eclipse. Sequence of five images of the sun during a total solar eclipse. The disc of the moon is seen moving over the disc of the sun. At totality the moon fits over the sun and only the suns corona (atmosphere) is visible. The moment of totality lasts for only a few minutes. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year and can only be seen from a small area of the Earths surface. Photographed on 29th March 2006.
