Explanation: On July 2 denizens of planetEarth could stand in the Moon's dark umbral shadow during South America's 2019total solar eclipse. It first touched down in the Southern Pacific Ocean, eastof New Zealand. Racing toward the east along a narrow track, the shadow of theMoon made landfall along the Chilean coast with the Sun low on the westernhorizon. Captured in the foreground here are long shadows still cast by directsunlight though, in the final moments before totality began. While diffractionspikes are from the camera lens aperture, the almost totally eclipsed Sunbriefly shone like a beautiful diamond ring in the clear, darkened sky.
在月球的阴影下
7月2日，在日全食期间，地球上的居民可能会被笼罩在月球的黑暗阴影下。它首先开始于新西兰东部的南太平洋。月亮的阴影沿着一条狭窄的轨道向东移动，着陆于智利海岸，太阳则低悬在西方地平线上空。然而，影像前景中捕捉到的是在全食开始前的最后时刻，直射阳光所投射的长长阴影。虽然衍射峰来自相机镜头的光圈，但是几乎完全被遮挡的太阳在晴朗、黑暗的天空中会短暂地发出像钻石环一样闪耀的美丽光芒。
