Description
English: This still image is a conceptual visualization of the geometry of a total solar eclipse. Viewed from beyond the night side of the Earth, the Moon casts its umbra and penumbra shadows onto the Earth's during the August 21, 2017 eclipse. The geometry is to scale. The position and focal length of the virtual camera were carefully chosen to capture all three solar system bodies in the frame.
