It was a typical Texas sunset except that most of the Sun was missing. The location of the missing piece of the Sun was not a mystery — it was behind the Moon. Featured here is one of the more interesting images taken of a partial solar eclipse that occurred in 2012, capturing a temporarily crescent Sun setting in a reddened sky behind brush and a windmill. The image was taken about 20 miles west of Sundown, Texas, USA, just after the ring of fire effect was broken by the Moon moving away from the center of the Sun. Today a new partial solar eclipse of the Sun will be visible from Earth. Unfortunately for people who live in Texas, today’s eclipse can only be seen from southern Africa and Antarctica.

在德克薩斯州的日落時分，這是一幅典型的景象，只不過太陽的一部分卻消失了。這部分太陽的缺失並不是謎團——它正藏在月球後面。這裡展現的是2012年一次部份日全食時拍攝的一幅有趣圖像，捕捉到在紅色天空下，正在落下的彎曲日冕。這幅圖像是在美國德克薩斯州桑敦以西約20英里的地方拍攝的，正好在月球逐漸移離太陽中心後，環狀日食的效果被打破之際。今天將會有一個新的部分日圓食現象可在地球上觀察到。不幸的是，對於居住在德克薩斯州的人來說，今天的日偏食僅能在南非和南極洲可見。
