Canadian nature photographer Liron Gertsman captured one of the best total solar eclipse photos PetaPixel has ever seen. Gertsman's remarkable wildlife photo, The Frigatebird and the Diamond Ring, was years in the making and the culmination of research, hard work, practice, scouting, and a pinch of luck. After all, while you can control a lot, you can't control the weather.

The Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) took advantage of its unique vantage spot in space to capture stunning images of a partial solar eclipse.
Antarctica is a bucket list destination for countless landscape and wildlife photographers, and for good reason. Dramatic, jagged mountain peaks rise high over colonies consisting of millions of penguins living on the frozen earth below. While photographing Antarctica is a rare experience in itself, photographing a total solar eclipse in Antarctica is akin to winning the lottery.
The Mars Perseverance rover has captured detailed footage of Phobos, one of the Red Planet's moons, crossing the face of the Sun. It is the most zoomed-in, highest frame-rate observation of a Phobos solar eclipse taken from the Martian surface.
The United States will play host to a total solar eclipse in April of 2024. While looking at an event two years away might sound like planning overkill, it will be the last time to catch one in the contiguous U.S. until 2044.

One of the best things time-lapse photography has given me is my interest in astronomy.
