9 March MMXVI Partial Solar Eclipse

Celestial events for me, are really interesting. I see each of these occurences as a time when my existence on earth has a real relevance to rare astronomical phenomena that can happen every now and then. This morning, I took part in marveling at the view of yet another heavenly spectacle. Though not as great as the total solar eclipse, the partial blockage of solar disk view by the new moon phase is observable here in the Philippines today. Thanks to the help of my friends here in school, I took a shot of the partial solar eclipse using my smart phone with a 4-ply used X-ray film as filter. Cropping the picture zoomed in the low definition image of the astronomical event.
