Contest Directions: 
Northern Europeans don't see much of the sun in January, and this morning our star was obscured even more than normal. Thanks to a much-anticipated partial solar eclipse, it was reduced to a crescent.
The eclipse was visible in parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, but its effects were most dramatic in Sweden, where as much as 85 per cent of the sun's disc was obscured. It was also visible as a minor partial eclipse over Northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula.
Ancient Chinese believed solar eclipses happened when a giant dragon ate the sun. They performed the special rituals to chase the dragon and make him release the Sun. Ancient Vikings legend says the two chasing wolves, Skoll and Hati, were to blame for making the sun disappear from the sky.
Photoshop a solar eclipse any way you wish. Some examples are: Show how companies can use a solar eclipse for commercial purposes - advertising their brands and products, show how politicians / political parties may use a solar eclipse to increase their ratings. Feel free to create advertisements / billboards / magazine covers for the above. Solar eclipses in movies, paintings, album covers, etc. Either partial or total solar eclipses are acceptable in the entries.
