This page describes an image The Eclipse Clock-Eclipse on a Polar Day
Image caption:
Constructed by combining multiple images over the course of a 24-hour period, the image was captured in Union Glacier, Antarctica, during the total solar eclipse of 4 December 2021, and showcases the day arc of the Sun. It illustrates the unique phenomenon of a polar day, during which the Sun travels around the sky without setting. During polar days, areas within the polar circles experience 24 hours of continuous daylight, and the Sun doesn’t set for an extended period. The image also offers a rare perspective of a solar eclipse, where the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and as viewed from Earth. This can be seen in the lower image of the Sun, where the Moon covers the solar disc.

Image caption: ২৪-ঘণ্টার সময়কালে একাধিক ছবি একত্রিত করে নির্মিত, ছবিটি ৪ ডিসেম্বর ২০২১-এর মোট সূর্যগ্রহণের সময় অ্যান্টার্কটিকার ইউনিয়ন হিমবাহে ধারণ করা হয়েছিল এবং সূর্যের দিনের চাপ দেখায়। এটি একটি মেরু দিনের অনন্য ঘটনাকে চিত্রিত করে, যে সময় সূর্য অস্তমিত না হয়েই আকাশে ঘুরে বেড়ায়। মেরু দিনগুলিতে, মেরু বৃত্তের মধ্যে থাকা অঞ্চলগুলি ২৪ ঘন্টা একটানা দিনের আলো অনুভব করে এবং সূর্য একটি বর্ধিত সময়ের জন্য অস্ত যায় না। ছবিটি সূর্যগ্রহণের একটি বিরল প্রেক্ষিতও প্রদান করে, যেখানে চাঁদ সূর্য ও পৃথিবীর মাঝখানে চলে যায় এবং পৃথিবী থেকে দেখা যায়। এটি সূর্যের নীচের ছবিতে দেখা যায়, যেখানে চাঁদ সৌর চাকতিকে ঢেকে রাখে।

Image caption: Vincitore del primo posto al concorso di astrofotografia IAU OAE 2023, categoria Immagini fisse dell'arco diurno del Sole e solargrafie:L'orologio dell'eclissi - L'eclissi in una giornata polare , di Stephanie Ziyi Ye
Questa splendida immagine composita si è aggiudicata il primo posto nella categoria Immagini fisse dell'arco diurno del Sole e solargrafie. Costruita combinando più immagini nel corso di un periodo di 24 ore, l'immagine è stata catturata a Union Glacier, in Antartide, durante l'eclissi solare totale del 4 dicembre 2021 e mostra l'arco diurno del Sole. Illustra il fenomeno unico di un giorno polare, durante il quale il Sole compie un giro del cielo senza tramontare. Durante i giorni polari, le aree all'interno dei circoli polari sperimentano 24 ore di luce continua e il Sole non tramonta per un periodo prolungato. L'immagine offre anche una rara prospettiva di un'eclissi solare, in cui la Luna passa tra il Sole e la Terra, vista dalla Terra. Ciò è visibile nell'immagine inferiore del Sole, dove la Luna copre il disco solare.

Image caption: 这幅图像是于2021年12月4日的日全食期间在南极洲的联合冰川拍摄的，由24小时内先后拍摄到的多张照片组合而成，展示了太阳的昼弧。它展示了被称为“极昼”的独特现象——在极昼中，太阳在天空中巡行而不落下。在极昼期间，极圈内的地区会经历24小时的连续日照，太阳长时间不落山。这幅图像还提供了罕见的日食视角——从地球看去，月球从太阳和地球之间穿过。在图像最下方的太阳照片中，月球覆盖了太阳圆面。
