It looks gorgeous! :D


It is such a beautiful, otherworldly (that's right!!!) image. Thanks to Peter Ward for producing it.

I can tell from the picture that, indeed, the solar corona behaves differently during solar minimums and solar maximums. There is definitely more turbulence "at the bottom of the corona" and more pink flares of Hα when the Sun is more active than when it is not. But since I really have so little to say about solar eclipses in general (or the solar corona), I'm just going to shut up now and stand in for Orin Stepanek and post a solar eclipse-appropriate picture of a cat!



Oh, and... Orin, I miss you.
