2024 April 09 - Moon's Shadow over Lake Magog
Channel: APOD Podcast

In today's image, we see the total solar eclipse which occurred yesterday over parts of North America. The solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of our Sun temporarily blocking out its light. Here we see the Sun's corona as well as the planet Venus which would otherwise not be visible.
