     [2]A totally eclipsed Sun is seen in the sky surrounded by a bright
   corona. In the foreground several people watch it near a large tree. To
     the right of the eclipsed Sun is the bright planet Venus, while the
       nearly-as- bright planet Jupiter is to the left. Please see the
                 explanation for more detailed information.

   Explanation: What wonders appear when the Moon blocks the Sun? For many
   eager observers of [5]Monday’s total eclipse of the Sun, the suddenly
   dark sky included the expected corona and two (perhaps surprise)
   planets: [6]Venus and Jupiter. Normally, in recent days, Venus is
   visible only in the morning when the Sun and Jupiter are below the
   horizon, while Jupiter appears bright only in the evening. On Monday,
   though, for well-placed observers, both planets became easily visible
   during the day right in line with the [7]totally eclipsed Sun. This
   line was captured Monday afternoon in the featured image from [8]Mount
   Nebo, [9]Arkansas, [10]USA, along with a line of [11]curious observers
   — and a [12]picturesque tree.
