"Solar Partial Eclipse in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, with KLCC & KL Tower as background, & montage in Photoshop to put all into 1 photos, every interval of sun is 5 minutes."

Photo by Stephen Seip in Germany, where the Aug. 1 eclipse was partial. "Here in Stuttgart the eclipse was partial (8%). I mounted 3 images and aligned them to the profile of the Moon limb. So I was able to show more of the Moon limb than with any other single shot. I had many clouds here - but not to bad for the mystic view of my collage."

"What an incredible event experienced by over 10,000 visitors in Novosibirsk earlier today. Following some very unfavourable skies the past few days, the skies opened up a couple of hours before first contact in anticipation of today's highlight event. Temperatures dropped noiceably as we approached first contact with slight winds being noticed as well. Stunning diamond rings announced the arrival and completion of totality and observers were treated to various prominences on the solar limb. No two eclipses are the same and today's majestic event was equally as impressive and grand as the 2006 total solar eclipse on the Greek isle of Kastelorizo."

The next total solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009, starting in India and moving across Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, China and over the Pacific Ocean.

"This is a multiple exposure [from the Haleakala High-Altitude Observatory on Maui, Hawai'i] showing the newly risen Full Moon and then 33 additional exposures every 10 minutes during the eclipse [on August 28th]."
