- rastan, on 10/12/2007, -16/+89Apparently not, because you won't even give enough for a plane ticket and a hotel room at a location where they occur :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+75"I dare you to find one cooler..."
I found one!!

;( - Wilson, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39Aaaaaw yeeeeeea.
http://www.deathbyvanilla.com/pics/cooler%20eclipse.jpg - mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -9/+39How about a moratorium on headline/description lines like, "Coolest _____ You Will Ever See!", "WITH PICS!", "Amazing", "Best ____ Ever!", "Must-see", "Software version RELEASED!!!", "Upcoming product information CONFIRMED!!!!!" and worst of all, "Title says it all."
- trib4lmaniac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Looks good on my desktop. Here are some 5:4 and 4:3 version if anyone wants them.

Because when he says "in real life"...I think we can generally assume that he can see them in non-real life (photos), so he's not blind. *shrugs* - bfirsh, on 02/13/2009, -0/+15http://www.crystalinks.com/solarhalo6804.jpg
- matman730, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Think about it. When a total eclipse occurs, you can only see it from a particular location, not everywhere where it's daytime. What's happening is that the moon only casts a (relatively) small, fuzzy shadow on the earth, rather than blocking all the sunlight from reaching the earth. Therefore, there's still plenty of light reaching earth to reflect back to the moon.
- dfsiii, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16I'll take the physical challenge.
- rushfan, on 10/12/2007, -21/+31I've seen far too many of these pictures on digg...
- ShloppyJoe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13As a matter of fact.......no?
- spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16Plus this Digg title is misleading. I'm going to see a cooler solar eclipse photo in 2038.
- zmigliozzi, on 10/12/2007, -11/+17check the source bro spaceweather.com... haha
i think its a great find, and i shall diggith it. - JiMiThInG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I happen to enjoy the neat pictures that end up on digg. I often add them to my screensaver/desktop background image folder.
- mranime, on 10/12/2007, -41/+46@rastan
And how exactly do you know that TekeeTakShak isn't blind?
Don't be a jerk. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6it looks like someone painted it. is there a link to the story on spaceweather.com?
- bairy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's a nice picture though I'm curious: You can see different shades of colour of the moon. I intially thought it was light bouncing off Earth but light isn't going to get to Earth is it *headdesk*.
Long exposure maybe? - FunkyGuy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10http://spaceweather.com/eclipses/29mar06c/
there are other pics if you think its fake - tehJR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I, for one, am sick of people using "I, for one," all the time now.
- user98887, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I for one, agree with tehJR
- twistymcgee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I like how the poster predicted my future there. I will never see a picture better than that. Whatelse can the poster tell me about my future?
- Mowatz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I like that one better:
http://skytrip.de/sofi2006-17.htm - Barlo_Mung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You mean anyone with a Windows 2000 installation has an eclipse image. They took it out for XP.
- anonymonk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Well, I like these too...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/anonymonk/sets/220791/
...but I took those myself, ;-) - screensnot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@nilobject
I think you mean solar eclipses, not lunar eclipses. - mike9376, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Looks like the iris of an eyeball. Quite amazing.
- matman730, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Also, because of its elliptical orbit, the moon does not always appear to be the same size as the sun during an eclipse. Unless the moon is at perigee (its closest approach to earth), it will produce either an annular (ring shaped) or a hybrid eclipse (annular from some vantage points, total from others.)

seeing as how TekeeTakShak is able to read comments, view pictures, and post replies; through simple deduction, its easy to negate this particular user is blind.
I doubt many blind people view user maintained news sites, too much visual information. - DJosephDesign, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Makes an awesome desktop wallpaper at 1920 x 1200. Thanks!
- akersmc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3During an eclipse, the moon's shadow only covers a small part of the Earth's surface. There's plenty of light reflected from the Earth to illuminate the moon.
- matman730, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3See my comment to bairy above.
- bairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's not rediculous. In a confined room light will bounce off the walls.
But space is a touch bigger than a room. There's a lot less light to reflect and less objects to reflect off, in this case I had just forgotten that eclipses are dependant on location that's all. - JustMatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now that you mention it though, that REALLY does look like someone dropped something on their bedsheets. I'm not claiming to know that this is fake or anything, but it is hard to get that image out of my head when I look at it now.
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -24/+25Doesnt deserve a digg in my opinion, simply because it looks more like someone pt a bowling ball on his sheets and photoshopped a moon on top :-s
Maybe that's just me, though. - HillelKitty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Unusual that we'd be able to see the features on the moon while it's in silhouette to the sun. The corona, while enough to destroy your eyes if you look at it, isn't enough to illuminate the moon. I wonder how they did it? At first I thought the same as bairy, that it was a long exposure, but then you wouldn't have differentiation in the coronal rays -- it would all just be a big over-exposed smear. Plus, you'd see the movement of the sun/moon. It still looks too clean to be a photoshop, though.
Beautiful photo! dugg - flightvector, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not bedsheets, that is the typical appearance of a corona, representing the full brunt of electromagnetic output of the sun, confined by the powerful magnetic field of the sun. Obviously you aren't interested in the miniscule online research to learn this, but tend to comment as if you are.
- toomuchgreentea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wasn't that the same picture with 180deg rotation?
- phildo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2*****, now I have to show this picture to someone else or my phone will ring in seven days and I'll die. :-/
- theWrkncacnter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anybody know where the picture was taken?
From SOHO (http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/)?
From the ground somewhere? - screensnot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Isn't it amazing that the moon is the perfect diameter, and the distances between the earth/sun and earth/moon, is just right that we can see this?
If I believed in ID (which I don't), this would be the argument I'd use as proof. It's certainly the strongest evidence for ID that I've ever seen. - rectangle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth at about 4 cm a year, so eventually there won't be any more total solar eclipses. The Moon will be to small. Thank the I.Der for designing you to live at the time when the Moon appears just the right size ;)
- bairy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Oh yeah course there is, I was thinking along the lines of head on. Thanks.
- angryredplanet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1For cooler beer:
http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/engine2.jpg - Superfluous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1actually, my physics teacher went to lybia to watch the rectn eclipse. He has a picture just like that one except that where the moon is it is completely black. It's perfection is eerie. It is a PERFECT circle that is the blackest black i've ever seen... i can just imagine what it looked like in person.
- flightvector, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1thats ridiculous bairy, thats like saying if you shine a flashlight onto someone in a dark room they'll still be pitch black unless you are sitting head on with the flashlight beam
- StevieRay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060407.html
- mycatsboots, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Someone had their bowl of oats squatted over this morning.
- araleius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice. Could be photoshoped, but nice nevertheless.
- firsttube, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well done. I like that pic quite much.
