Total solar eclipse, 3D image. This image combines the first and last image during totality and has a subtle 3D effect intended for viewing with red-green/blue '3D' anaglyph glasses. The moment of totality lasts for only a few minutes. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year, and can only be seen from a small area of the Earth's surface. This total solar eclipse took place on 2 July 2019. This image was created by the ESA-CESAR team, observing the eclipse from ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile.
