UMBRA WORLD

Early in the morning of November 14, 2012, the resort island of Green Island, Australia fell

dark as moon's umbral shadow drifted across its spectacular scenery. Thousands of excited sky

watchers and photographers from around the world gathered to experience this remakrable

celetial event. This unique image was created from 8 separate images shot as a 360-degree

panorama and then wrapped around itself to produce the first-ever "little planet" view of a

total solar eclipse. Above the eclipse shines the planet Venus; on the other side of the

scene--behind the trees--appears the bright star Sirius. © Dennis Mammana/dennismammana.com
