The Guardian has a neat gallery of winning selections from the  year’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition.  Taken during a total eclipse of the sun, this pic by Greek photographer Anthony Aylomamitis, called Siberian Totality

_Quote reveals the faint solar corona usually hidden by the photosphere. The long streamers and prominences show the sun's activity beyond the surface, reaching out into the solar system. Winner of the Our Solar System award

See the whole gallery here. [Hat tip Hayden W.]

God Believer, Sun's eclipse has got nothing to do with God's creation at all. Besides, there is no such thing as God.
