Solar Eclipse - August 21st 2017 - Solar Corona

            A Solar Corona (Latin for 'crown') is an aura of plasma that surrounds the sun and other stars. The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometers into space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, but it is also observable with a coronagraph. This photo was taken at the point of totality during the 8/21/2017 solar eclipse and clearly shows the solar corona extending outside the shadow of the moon. Normally, the corona’s delicate light is outshone by the bright photosphere or surface of the sun.
