   Explanation: Only those along the narrow track of the Moon's shadow on
   April 8 saw a total solar eclipse. But most of North America still saw
   a partial eclipse of the Sun. From Clearwater, Florida, USA this single
   snapshot captured multiple images of that more widely viewed celestial
   event without observing the Sun directly. In the shade of a palm tree,
   criss-crossing fronds are projecting recognizable eclipse images on the
   ground, pinhole camera style. In Clearwater the maximum eclipse phase
   was about 53 percent.
