Explanation: During a total solar eclipse, the Sun's extensive outer atmosphere, or corona, is an inspirational sight. Streamers and shimmering features that engage the eye span a brightness range of over 10,000 to 1, making them notoriously difficult to capture in a single photograph. But this composite of 29 telescopic images covers a wide range of exposure times to reveal the crown of the Sun in all its glory. The aligned and stacked digital frames were recorded in the cold, clear skies above the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Norway during the Sun's total eclipse on March 20 and also show solar prominences extending just beyond the edge of the solar disk. Remarkably, even small details on the dark night side of the New Moon can be made out, illuminated by sunlight reflected from a Full Earth. Of course, fortunes will be reversed on April 4 as a Full Moon plunges into the shadow of a New Earth, during a total lunar eclipse.

You may see a Corona, but I see a Dos Equis. :-)
I prefer Michelob Ultra. ;-)
Thank you for the post and ping. It’s nice to see the coronae composite.
Blood Moon as it passes through the Umbra on Saturday?
Please, God! Let the skies be clear in Ohio on Saturday night.
LOL!
What? It’s low carb! Gotta stick to my diet. ;-)
" I don't always catch a Solar eclipse, but when I do, I prefer the Corona..."
Me too!
Lo Carb Beer? Tastes Good? Less Filling?
That’s the Guy! :-)
I have a case of it, but since I started my chemo, I haven’t had any.
When it’s all over, it’ll be Winter again, and I usually drink it in the
Summer. Sigh... A case can last two years (not a heavy drinker).
(anymore)
It’s not making me suffer, but that first beer a year from now is
going to go down very easy.
Prayers for your rapid healing!
