Solar Eclipse by Moon: 1/2
Eclipse of the Sun's corona by the Moon. Due to the absence of atmosphere on our natural satellite, here a clean bite is taken out of the Sun, in contrast to the images on pages 81–85. An irregular line of mountains can be seen at the lunar limb. Solar Dynamics Observatory, October 7, 2010 --- Image by © NASA GSFC/Michael Benson/Kinetikon Pictures/Corbis
