Hauntingly beautiful capture of the solar eclipse last week at totality by astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy. In his words: “My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea".”
We are blessed with an abundance of extremely talented astrophotographers working today, but Andrew may be the best.
You can order this image as a print for your wall, but only for the next day or two. And you can also download it and several other captures, in vertical and horizontal orientations, for free: https://cosmicbackground.io/pages/ea-shadows-on-the-balearic-sea
