Horizon-Video: 3rd contact -- Totality/Diamond-Ring/Bailey's Beads video-camera pointed towards SW (sun's azimuth @totality) NOTE: the brightening SW sky (due to umbra leaving, moving to the NE), makes Venus barely visible above the horizon. During the panorama, you can see the trees swaying in the breeze. At end of panorama, you can actually see the southern-umbral-edge "sweep by" (look near the telescope). Hi8 video camera + .5x wide-angle (~84 deg horizontal span) |

This rendering shows the Moon, Earth and the cast shadow (umbra and
penumbra) - IT IS NOT TO SCALE AND NOT INTENDED TO MIMIC REALITY, IT's
SIMPLY AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE MOON'S SHADOW BEING CAST INTO SPACE AND FALLING
ONTO EARTH.
If you click on this image, you will see an animation. Watch out, it's rather large and a while to load on slow modems. (1.2 Mb)
