Magnificent picture. A question for the experts: why was there a
bright white sliver on the top left-hand edge of the moon during
totality? On David's picture, it extends from about 10 o'clock to
almost the top of the picture (excuse the technical language!) but, on
some others, it extends clockwise to about 1 o'clock. It was clearly
visible to the naked eye and I'm curious why it wasn't reddish, like
the rest of the image.
