Astronomy photos of the year, 2010

Siberian-Totality-Anthony-009

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.]

    That's absolutely beautiful. This is God's magic creation.

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

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
