COSMIC MESSAGE
This image captures a partial solar eclipse from 2012, as seen from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The Moon partially obscures the Sun, creating a crescent shape. Below, observers contemplate the event, their silhouettes adding to the scene. Faintly visible on the Sun's disk, just below the Moon, is a sunspot.
