This is October, 25th, 2022, and the time is 11:19UTC.

Two cosmic events are happening at the same time, involving the 3 main celestial bodies. In one sentence:
The Sun is smiling while looking at the Moon cast its shadow onto the Earth.

Two pictures shot at the exact same moment:
1. Left: Almost total sun eclipse over Russia. See the Earth "eaten" at the North-East. Picture by DSCOVR satellite around L1. What the Sun sees of us...
2. Right: a smile draw on the Sun surface by its coronal holes. As if it liked the show . Picture by NASA SDO satellite, also on L1, but looking the other way.
