This ethereal glow lasted just a few minutes during this year’s total solar eclipse. The rare sight has won top prize in the 2015 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, which celebrates the most spectacular images of the cosmos.
Luc Jamet took the picture seconds after the eclipse began on 20 March. He was looking out over the valley of Sassendalen in Svalbard, Norway, one of only two habitable locations where the eclipse was total.
