Image of the totality phase of the solar eclipse which occurred on July 11th 1991. For a few minutes during totality the Moon completely covers the Sun making the solar corona visible as a shining white halo around the solar disc. The solar corona is a region of low density and high temperature (about 1 million Kelvin) and represents the upper part of the solar atmosphere. It is usually undetectable due to the overwhelming brightness of the inner region of the solar atmosphere,the photosphere | |
