A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth either partially or fully blocking the sun. In Tarawa this was quite spectacular; it occurred at midday. In the 15 minutes before the eclipse, the light faded such that it felt like you were wearing very dark sun glasses. Then thousands of shadows of the eclipse were able to be seen on the ground and under trees. It was amazing! To the left is a circle of the sun with the moon shadow in the middle.
