Clock-shaped Eclipse Composite

Behold the incredible beauty of a total solar eclipse. This composite image features a partial solar eclipse (when the moon starts to cover the sun), the prominences during a solar eclipse, and the diamond ring at the very first moment the moon moves away from the sun and it’s light comes shining into the camera.
