My Way News - Ring of light: Total eclipse over Svalbard islands in Arctic
My Way News reports: "Sky-gazers looked up in awe Friday as the moon blocked the sun in a
total solar eclipse that momentarily darkened a slice of northern
Europe.
The most spectacular viewing came on Norway's Svalbard islands near the
North Pole, where a bright clear day and blindingly white snow
highlighted the cosmic wonder that used to bring ancient civilizations
to a trembling halt.
Visitors to the Arctic islands were treated to a full view of the sun's
corona — a faint ring of rays surrounding the moon — that is only
visible during a total eclipse."
