Between the Observatory and the Sun for a while was the Earth.
The solar dynamics Observatory took this picture of a solar Eclipse, which occurred on 25 August.
The picture was published on the website NASA.
For several days the Earth periodically hiding the Sun from the Observatory. In the picture you can see the beginning of this Eclipse, which lasted only seven minutes.
The edge of the shadow of the Earth on the Sun looks fuzzy because of the peculiarities of the planet’s atmosphere.
