Description

First contact, or C1, is when the moon begins to cross the edge of the sun and the partial eclipse begins. (C2 is the second contact and start of totality for total solar eclipses). This image combines a fast, surface-focused exposure with a slower, surface-focused on to show both details and prominences as the moon clearly begins to interfere.
