Total solar eclipse of April 20, 2023 aboard the ship Coral Geographer, Timor Sea, Kimberley Coast, Western Australia.

Total solar eclipse of April 20, 2023, seen from a ship in the Timor Sea off the coast of the Kimberley, Western Australia. The solar eclipse at 11:49am April 20 (Perth time) was bright and brief, with 1 minute of totality and 2.5 hours of partiality. Bright red prominences erupted from the sun’s left side and the dimmer corona spread exquisitely into space. Tom edited this HDR composite photo to show what our eyes saw (by combining three images, exposed at 1/125th, 1/1250th and 1/12,800th second). From Darwin in Northern Territory, we cruised the Kimberley coast of Western Australia aboard the Coral Geographer chartered by Wilderness Travel tour agency. The Kimberley is the northernmost of the nine regions of the state of Western Australia.
