   Explanation: This timelapse series captured on October 14 is set
   against the sunrise view from Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon, planet Earth.
   Of course on that date the New Moon caught up with the Sun in the
   canyon's morning skies. Local temperatures fell as the Moon's shadow
   swept across the high altitude scene and the brilliant morning sunlight
   became a more subdued yellow hue cast over the reddish rocky landscape.
   In the timelapse series, images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The
   camera and solar filter were fixed to a tripod to follow the phases of
   the annular solar eclipse.
