Today's solar #eclipse, partial here in Florida, captured in a lens flare, and projected onto paper through a pinhole.
Photo of the sun during the 8-April-2024 solar eclipse, partial from the Tampa Bay area in Florida. The sun is too bright for the cellphone camera to capture the crescent, it appears as a bright, yellow-white blob. But the crescent of the eclips is clearly visible in a lens flare just below.
