About this wallpaper

Total solar eclipse, black sun with white corona streaming, stars visible at midday, birds silenced on darkened branches.

Built on dark slate blue, deep black, the image keeps its eclipse mood through tonal depth rather than pure darkness. Light is used sparingly, which is what gives the composition its weight.

Designed as a phone background, it balances legibility and atmosphere: icons stay readable against the darker regions while the composition holds up at full brightness. Free download in full resolution.

How this wallpaper works on your screen

This is a phone wallpaper at 1152×2048, in 9:16. On a phone, the tall composition matters more than the subject alone: check that the subject survives behind the clock and widgets on both the lock screen and the home screen before you settle on it. The palette is anchored in pure black (#000000), so on an OLED phone the darkest pixels switch off entirely — the image reads as black, not grey, and app labels stay crisp against it.
