Hidetaka Onoyama’s Eclipse Photo of the Day »
During yesterday's annular eclipse, in which the moon passed in front of the sun leaving only a golden ring around its edges, Hidetaka Onoyama's photo emerged as our favorite image. Taken from Tokyo, it's a beautiful reminder of the wonder of nature, and the power of science to understand.
