It was an old satire site that was around for awhile. Its mission statement said something like "Our goal is not to harm Mr. O'Reilly, we simply think that his skills could be put to better use from the surface of the sun."

I would not expect to see the disk of the moon illuminated regardless of the spectral response of the camera system. The shadow side of the moon can only be illuminated by sunlight that is reflected by the earth. The photos of the sun-space station partial eclipse show that even with perfect alignment along the sun-moon-earth axis, the intensity of the direct solar radiation totally overwhelms it's reflection shining off the back side of the moon.

If you want to see more of the data it is publicly available at http://hinode.nao.ac.jp/news/110104AnnularEclipse/ Unfortunately, it is in Japanese.

I love it. 8) <i>(Those sunglasses seem unusually apt this time.)</i> Click here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinode For more info. on Hinode. Somewhat surprised that they're using the <i>Hiragana</i> ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana ) and not the <i>Kanji</i> characters ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji ) there myself. Same kanji in 'Hinode' as 'nichi' in 'Sun' I presume but different proununciation? As for Beck well Colbert wa sfunny -except I think Neil Dg.
