The Sun and Moon rose togetherover much of Europe on the mornin ofMay 31st with thefirst solar eclipse of 2003 already in progress.And while sightings of the full annular phase of theeclipse were restricted t far northern regions,early morning risers were still treated t inspiring views of twocelestial bodies which are mos important to life on planet Earth.Following the dawn's spectacle from Charneux,Belgium, astrophotographer Olivier Meeckersrecorded this evocative image of the partially eclipsedSun rising above a primeval apparitio of mists and trees.Last month was indeed a rewarding one fo eclipsewatchers as May's full Moon and (second) new Moon lined up for theirrespectiv lunar an solar eclipses.November 2003 will also host both a total lunar andtotal sola eclipse.
