Sharp and fuzzy shadows 30 minutes before solar eclipse totality, April 20, 2023, Timor Sea, Western Australia.

In the half hour before totality, the thin crescent sun's rays make shadows sharp in one direction but fuzzy at a 90 degree angle to that (blurry when perpendicular to the axis of the crescent), clearly shown by finger shadows. View the total solar eclipse of April 20, 2023 from a ship in the Timor Sea off the coast of the Kimberley, Western Australia. 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.
