Beyond Totality: The Sun’s Chromosphere and Corona
A composite view of the eclipsed Sun combining two normally very different perspectives of our star: the H-alpha chromosphere and prominences, reconstructed through spectroheliography, and the faint outer corona, photographed during totality.
The chromospheric data were acquired from Menorca, Balearic Islands, with the Sun only 12° above the western horizon, while the coronal images were obtained by Nicola Bizzotto from Madrid with the Sun 7° above the horizon.
