Explanation: What's happened to top of the Sun? Last week, parts of Earth's
southern hemisphere were treated to a partial solar eclipse [4] , where the
Moon blocks [5]  out part of the Sun [6] . The featured image [7]  was taken
toward the end of the eclipse from the coast of Uruguay [8]  overlooking
Argentina [9] 's Buenos Aires [10] . Light-house adorned Faralln Island [11]
is seen in the foreground, and a plane is visible just to the left of the Sun.
The image [12]  is actually a digital combination of two consecutive exposures
taken with the same camera using the same settings -- one taken of the
landscape and another of the background Sun [13] . The next solar eclipse [14]
 visible on Earth [15] will be another partial eclipse occurring in mid-July
and visible [16] from parts of southern Australia [17]  including Tasmania
[18] .
