Earlier today Europe, Asia, and Africa got to see a nice partial solar eclipse as the Moon passed in front of the Sun, blocking as much as 85% of the solar surface. The extraordinarily talented astrophotographer Thierry Legault traveled from his native France to the Sultanate of Oman to take pictures of the eclipse.

The image shows three planes in space: the Sun at 150 million km, the Moon at about 400000 km and the ISS at 500 km. |
What an amazing picture.
