An image of the eclipse caught by photographer Wiphu Rujopakarn in Moscow, Russia. In his words: "The eclipse caught me completely off-guard as I gazed up at the first sunshine in Moscow in two weeks. I happened to be wandering in Red Square so I snapped a picture of the eclipse alongside the crazy historical architecture of Saint Basil's Cathedral".
