The only total solar eclipse of the year occurred on December 4, 2021.
It was a sight to behold, but only to a few. The path of totality for the solar eclipse stretched across a remote part of Antarctica where few humans could see it. There was a partial eclipse visible to parts of SaintHelena, Namibia, Lesotho, South Africa, South Georgia and Sandwich Islands.

The intrepid scientists ventured out into the harsh terrain to observe the solar eclipse and broadcast it live. Clicking the arrow buttons will show their photos and diagrams of the eclipse.

The second photo of the total solar eclipse of 2021, taken by Felipe Trueba from Union Glacier in Antarctica, shows a land that is completely dark during the moment of totality.
Scientists took photos of the moon and sun for studies during the totality phase, which lasted about 2 minutes.
Scientists can observe the corona during a solar eclipse in a rare opportunity. It is usually obscured by the bright face of the sun.

The moment of totality for the total solar eclipse of December 4, 2021, takes on a stark beauty in this telescope view from a live webcast by scientists Theo Boris and Christian Lockwood of the JM Pasachoff expedition.
The sun's corona can be seen from here. A prominence on the sun is visible as it arcs out from the moon's disk.

There are photos of the total solar eclipse in December of 2021.
During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun. The moon's shadow is cast on a small path of the Earth as the moon moves around our planet during the New Moon phase.
People are watching a total solar eclipse. Outside of that narrow strip of land, they can see a partial solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses do not occur every New Moon because the moon's tilt affects the sun.

The moon covered more and more of the sun's disk as the total solar eclipse progressed, leaving only a small portion as seen in this still from the video by Theo Boris and Christian Lockwood.

The sun's light came from behind the sun and created this amazing view.
The event is known as the "diamond ring effect" due to its similarity to the jewelry.

The total solar eclipse of December 4, 2021, took place across Antarctica.
It began in the extreme southern Atlantic Ocean and ended in the ocean on the other side as seen in the strip outlined in blue.
Some cruise ships were hoping to catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse.

The path of the solar eclipse in December of 2021 was mapped out by NASA.
This event was the last total solar eclipse before a hybrid solar eclipse, which will occur in 2023. The event will be visible from the southeastern Pacific Ocean and parts of South America.
The next partial solar eclipse will be visible from the southeastern Pacific Ocean and parts of South America. On October 25, 2022, a partial solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Europe, northeast Africa, the Mideast and western Asia.
A solar eclipse will be visible from North America, South America and Central America on October 14, 2023. The next solar eclipse will take place on April 8, 2024, crossing parts of North America and Central America.
Our guide on how to photograph a solar eclipse safely will help you prepare for the event. If you want to prepare for the next solar eclipse, you need the best gear, and we have the best cameras and lens for that.
