   Explanation: Only those [5]along the narrow track of the Moon's shadow
   on April 8 saw a total solar eclipse. But most of North America still
   saw a partial eclipse of the Sun. From Clearwater, Florida, USA this
   single snapshot captured multiple images of that more widely viewed
   celestial event without observing the Sun directly. [6]In the shade of
   a palm tree, criss-crossing fronds are projecting recognizable eclipse
   images on the ground, [7]pinhole camera style. In Clearwater the
   maximum eclipse phase was about 53 percent.
