The whole sky is under the shadow of the moon

If the sun rises but the sky is dark and the surrounding horizon is bright, you may be standing under the shadow of the moon during a total solar eclipse.

What do we see in NASA's image of the day?

In fact, the entire sky below the moon's shadow is captured in this composite view of a field near Shirley, Arkansas, on Planet Earth.

These exposures were made during the April 8 total solar eclipse in a clear sky. For this location near the center line of the moon's shadow path, it took more than 4 minutes.

Along with the solar corona surrounding the silhouette of the moon, the planets and stars were visible during the total eclipse phase.

The easiest to see here are the bright planets Venus and Jupiter, which are to the lower right and upper left of the captured Sun.
