从这个距离地球地理南极约四分之三英里的有利位置来看,12月4日的日食被视为日偏食。在最大的时候,新月挡住了90%的太阳圆盘。当然,南极望远镜(左)和BICEP望远镜(右)的工作人员爬上阿蒙森-斯科特空间站暗区实验室的屋顶观看。这张合成的延时视图位于局部日食最大值附近,每四分钟拍摄一张太阳穿越南极寒冷天空的图像。从左到右沿着屋顶线,还有布兰登·阿马特、阿曼·乔克什、张成、詹姆斯·贝文顿和艾伦·福斯特举起的手臂。

From this vantage point about three quarters of a mile from planet Earth's geographic South Pole, the December 4 eclipse of the Sun was seen as a partial eclipse. At maximum the New Moon blocked 90 percent of the solar disk. Of course, crews at the South Pole Telescope (left) and BICEP telescope (right) climbed to the roof of Amundsen-Scott station's Dark Sector Laboratory to watch. Centered near the local eclipse maximum, the composite timelapse view features an image of the Sun traversing cold antarctic skies taken every four minutes. Left to right along the roof line it also features the raised arms of Brandon Amat, Aman Chokshi, Cheng Zhang, James Bevington and Allen Foster.
