  • The full moon falls into total eclipse, becoming what is popularly referred to as a blood moon on January 20, 2019. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. A small amount of red-orange light, however, bends around the Earth and passes through its atmosphere, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, causing the moon to glow red during the totality phase of the eclipse.

  • The annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 reaches its peak in this view from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun.

  • The solar corona shines bright over the pinnacle of a butte in the Mormon Basin of Malheur County, Oregon, during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that we typically see. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible.

  • The sun's corona is visible to the naked eye during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, as viewed from Malheur County, Oregon. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that is typically visible. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible. The bright star Regulus is visible near the bottom left corner of the image.

  • A composite of six images shows the progression of the annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 as viewed from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun. This image sequence begins at the top left. The black marks on some of the Sun images are sunspots.

  • The moon partially eclipses the sun as it passes behind cumulus clouds over Snohomish County, Washington. The October 23, 2014 partial solar eclipse was visible over much of North America.

  • A composite of six images captured from Seattle, Washington, shows the progression of the lunar eclipse on December 10, 2011. Captured over a one-hour period, the composite shows the Earth gradually passing between the sun and the moon. The eclipse was visible from eastern Europe to the western United States and is the last total lunar eclipse until April 15, 2014.

  • The full moon in a type of lunar eclipse known as a Super Blood Moon rises over Mount Rainier in Washington state. The total lunar eclipse of September 27, 2015 occurred when the moon was at perigee — its closest approach to Earth — making the moon appear more than 10 percent larger. While lunar eclipses are relatively common, it is rare for an eclipse to happen when the moon is at perigee. Such eclipses only happen about once every 20 years. Mount Rainier, an active volcano, has an elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), making it the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range and the highest point in Washington state.

  • Venus is visible against the setting Sun in this view from Kings Canyon National Park, California. Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is visible as a black dot on the lower right corner of the Sun. The transit was visible from at least four continents and is the last until December 2117.
