The Moon Crosses the Sun Over San Antonio, Texas

A stunning telescopic view of the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, photographed from northeastern San Antonio, Texas. The Moon's dark silhouette moves across the brilliant orange surface of the Sun, creating a dramatic partial phase of the rare “Ring of Fire” eclipse. Tiny sunspots are visible against the solar disk, adding remarkable detail to this celestial alignment. Captured by James Engel using a Nikon D850 and a Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at 1700mm, this photograph reveals the extraordinary beauty and precision of our solar system in motion.
