“The Solar Corona Unwrapped” is copyrighted by Barden Ridge Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis creative composite image shows changes in the solar corona during two total solar eclipses. It unwraps the entire corona from the eclipsed Sun's edge into a rectangle and mirrors it. The bottom shows the 2017 eclipse from Wyoming, and the top shows the 2023 eclipse from Australia. The 2017 eclipse was near a solar minimum, while the 2023 eclipse was closer to a solar maximum.
