The start of the Eclipse
Total Eclipse
A spectacular sight, in an
amazing place..
A photo taken by Charlie and
Ros, with whom we shared the eclipse experience.
This is an excellent image
showing several prominences between 11 and 12 o'clock. The magnetic poles of
the Sun are at 1 and 7 o'clock, and the corona is at its most extensive around
the magnetic equator 4 and 10 o'clock.
This short exposure brings
out the prominences whilst sacrificing the full extent of the Corona. An idea
of the scale of this image can be given by realising that the small circular
prominence at approximately 11 o'clock is over twice the size of the Earth!
