   Explanation: [6]If the Sun is up but the sky is dark and the horizon is
   bright all around, you might be standing in the Moon's shadow during a
   total eclipse of the Sun. In fact, the all-sky Moon shadow shown in
   this composited panoramic view was captured from a farm near Shirley,
   Arkansas, planet Earth. The exposures were made under clear skies
   during the [7]April 8 total solar eclipse. For that location near the
   center line of the Moon's shadow track, totality lasted over 4 minutes.
   Along with the solar corona surrounding the [8]silhouette of the Moon
   planets and stars were visible during the total eclipse phase.
   [9]Easiest to see here are bright planets Venus and Jupiter, to the
   lower right and upper left of the eclipsed Sun.
