Total Solar Eclipse on Aug 1 2008
The Moon passed directly in front of the sun on August 1, 2008, producing a total eclipse in northern Canada, Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and China.
In Siberia :
An incredible event experienced by over 10,000 visitors in Novosibirsk earlier today. Stunning diamond rings announced the arrival and completion of totality and observers were treated to various prominences on the solar limb. The Moon covered the sun 100%, completely extinguishing all sunbeams. The photographer took the advantage of the darkness to capture the sun's corona and a pair of stunning diamond rings.
location : On the roof of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia.

In china :
" It's 1 AM local time and we just got back from eclipse site. Weather started well but rapidaly deteriated and by 10 minutes to second contact I was sure we were going to miss it, but by the grace of unknown forces it cleared 30 seconds before totality and we saw it all . "
location : North of Hami China,

Earlier today, ordinary sunbeams in Europe and Asia shape-shifted, suddenly taking the form of crescents. That's what happens during a solar eclipse.
In Iran :
In Esfahan, Iran, the sun was about 20% covered when Mohammad Soltanolkotabi photographed these crescents decorating the floor of the Sheikh Lutffullah mosque.
