以前写过一篇“你没有见过的日食和月食”。看不到是因为它们都不是在地球上拍摄的 (其中的第二幅还有一个视屏)。即使是在地球上，有些日食的镜头也是难得一见。上面的这张照片就是2003年12月8日发生在南极的以此日食。下面是关于这次事件的英文和中文的描述：

The Sun, the Moon, and two photographers all lined up last month in Antarctica during an unusual total eclipse of the Sun. Even given the extreme location, a group of enthusiastic eclipse chasers ventured near the bottom of the world to experience the surreal momentary disappearance of the Sun behind the Moon. One of the treasures collected was the above picture -- a composite of four separate images digitally combined to realistically simulate how the adaptive human eye saw the eclipse. As the image was taken, both the Moon and the Sun peaked together over an Antarctic ridge. In the sudden darkness, the magnificent corona of the Sun became visible around the Moon. Quite by accident, another photographer was caught in one of the images checking his video camera. Visible to his left are an equipment bag and a collapsible chair.

在这个不寻常时刻，太阳，月亮，南极洲，以及两位摄影师都排列成队。恰好在这样极为特殊的位置，一群热情的日蚀追逐者冒险来到地球底部附近，体验太阳消失在月亮背后的神奇时刻。他们得到的这张照片是由四幅单独的数码图像合成，逼真地模拟了人眼看日蚀的感觉。正如拍下的这张照片，月亮和太阳一起越过南极的一条山脊。在这种突然的黑暗中，太阳的绚丽光环在月亮周围变得清晰可见。相当偶然地，另一位摄影师被拍进图像。可以看到他在检查摄像机，他的左边是一个器材包和一把折叠椅。
