Total Solar Eclipse


On 29 March 2006 I visited the beautiful island of Kastelorizo in order to see, for the first time in my life, the total eclipse of the Sun. There I met some fellow amateur astronomers and all together we watched this spectacular phenomenon. In this image you can see the solar corona in all its glory during totality.

This image appears also on Spaceweather web site.
