ST deputy editor Sumiko Tan said that there was a lot of interest in the solar eclipse, and ST's stories, photographs and videos on the phenomenon were widely read and shared.
"People took so many beautiful photos of the event that we thought a compilation into an e-book would make a good keepsake of that magical morning," she said.
The 50-plus specially curated photos include admirable efforts submitted by ST's readers, such as a breathtaking shot, seen from Lower Seletar Reservoir, taken by supply demand executive Cedric Ng, 34.
There is also a video of the various astronomy events held across Singapore, as well as an explainer on the solar eclipse, which will help readers understand the phenomenon better and prepare for the next one.
