Solar eclipse

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SOLAR ECLIPSE: On Sunday, Feb. 26th, the Moon passed in front of the sun, off-center, transforming the solar disk into a crescent across much of Earth's southern hemisphere.  Oleg Toumilovitch sends this picture from Johannesburg, South Africa:

"I caught the last moments of the eclipse just before sunset," says Toumilovitch.
While hundreds of millions of people witnessed a crescent sun, a much smaller number saw the "ring of fire."  In a narrow path stretching across the southern reaches of South America and parts of Africa, the Moon passed directly in front of the sun, covering 99% of the solar disk. This allowed a fiery annulus of solar plasma to circumscribe the mountainous limb of the Moon.
