Total solar eclipse. Computer artwork of the outer corona of the Sun,seen during a total solar eclipse. The corona is the cloud of low-density plasma (hot ions) that surrounds the Sun. It is normally obscured by the brightness of the Sun's visible surface. It is revealed during a total solar eclipse,which occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun and obscures its surface. This moment of totality lasts for only a few minutes. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year,and can only be seen from a small area of the Earth's surface | |
