Total Eclipse of the Active Sun

NASA APOD · Michael Kobusch
COSMIC MESSAGE

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. During the brief minutes of totality, the Sun's shimmering corona becomes visible, sharing the sky with stars and planets. Tomorrow, June 21, will bring the next total solar eclipse. Since the Sun is near its activity maximum, careful observers may see features like prominences.
