| Description: |
Total eclipses occur when the moon sneaks between Earth and the sun, and the three bodies align precisely. By quirky celestial symmetry, the moon as seen from Earth is just broad enough to cover the solar face, creating a breath-taking silver halo in an indigo sky pocked by daytime stars. The moon will do this trick again on Friday for the only total solar eclipse of 2015, with a dramatic backdrop provided by Nordic islands on the roof of the world. On Saturday there will be exceptional tides. [Source: Hindustan Times]
