60% Partial Solar Eclipse 2020
June 21, 2020 04:20PM GMT +8 12.0719N 120.06026E
Solar Eclipse happens when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up in a straight line. The moon blocks the sunlight and casts a shadow. An eclipse's shadow has 2 layers namely Umbra and Penumbra. Observers located on the Umbra can see a full solar eclipse, while observers located on the Penumbra can only see a partial eclipse.
This photo was taken during the peak of a partial eclipse. I didn't go back to the office after my lunchbreak so that I can observe this phenomenon. I started setting up my telescope at around 1:00PM in the afternoon and stayed until the solar eclipse ended. I used this blank bond paper to protect my eyes since I don't have a sun filter.
