      Explanation: From this vantage point about three quarters of a mile   
      from planet Earth's geographic South Pole, the December 4 eclipse of   
      the Sun was seen as a partial eclipse. At maximum eclipse the New Moon   
      blocked 90 percent of the solar disk. Of course, crews at the South   
      Pole Telescope (left) and BICEP telescope (right) climbed to the roof   
      of Amundsen-Scott station's Dark Sector Laboratory to watch. Centered   
      near the local eclipse maximum, the composite timelapse view features   
      an image of the Sun in cold antarctic skies taken every four minutes.   
      Left to right along the roof line it also features the raised arms of   
      Brandon Amat, Aman Chokshi, Cheng Zhang, James Bevington and Allen   
      Forster.
