Explanation: <\/b>It was a typical Texas sunset except that most of the Sun was missing. The location of the missing piece of the Sun was not a mystery — it was behind the Moon<\/a>. Sunday night’s partial eclipse<\/a> of the Sun by the Moon turned into one of the best photographed astronomical events in history. Gallery<\/a> after online gallery<\/a> is posting<\/a> just one<\/a>amazing<\/a>eclipse<\/a>image<\/a>after<\/a>another<\/a>. Pictured above is possibly one of the more interesting<\/a> posted images — a partially eclipsed Sun setting in a reddened sky behind brush and a windmill. The image was taken Sunday<\/a> night from about 20 miles west of Sundown<\/a>, Texas, USA, just after the ring of fire<\/a> effect was broken by the Moon moving away<\/a> from the center of the Sun. Coming early next month is an astronomical event<\/a> that holds promise to be even more photographed — the last partial eclipse of the Sun by Venus<\/a> until the year 2117<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
