Whenever the total solar eclipse appears, the Sun's light creates a "crown" around it that can be seen with the naked eye.This "crown" is the Sun's outer atmosphere, lasting millions of miles in space.(Photo: AFP).
According to NASA, every one and a half years, a total solar eclipse will occur in one location on Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will occur twice a year.(Photo: Reuters).
Viewers tested the tracking glass before the eclipse took place at La Silla observatory in Coquimbo, Chile.To ensure safety, NASA recommends that solar eclipses should wear protective eyewear because as soon as the Moon leaves, ultraviolet rays from the Sun can destroy the eye.(Photo: Reuters).
The shadow of the Moon is completely visible through satellite images of the Earth's surface from the universe.The dark area in the South Pacific, just below the hurricane Barbara, is where the total solar eclipse takes place.(Photo: NASA).
