On a cold snowy January day, the moon's shadow crossed the surface of the sun over a period of less than a minute. In this pictorial photograph, which was created by making multiple exposures on the same negative, we see the trajectory of this celestial event. In the final image, the black ball of the moon's shadow, centered in the fiery sphere, the sun's brilliant corona is captured.
