A photo montage captured during a solar eclipse over the Marshall Islands in July 2009. The beautiful image shows the solar corona that makes up the sun's atmosphere in amazing detail as the sun passes behind the moon.
The whorls and loops of the corona extend millions of miles into space, are nearly 200 times hotter than the visible surface of the sun, and yet aren't nearly as bright and hence can only be seen during eclipses
