Solar prominence seen in true color during totality of a Solar eclipse. In solar physics, a prominence, sometimes referred to as a filament, [a] is a large plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun 's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the much brighter photosphere, and ...
English: Visualisation of a solar eclipse from different positions. Each icon shows the view from the centre of its black spot, representing the moon. The magnitude values pertain to the middle icons.
An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. In some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses were attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. Astronomers' predictions of eclipses began in China as early as the 4th century BC; eclipses hundreds of years into the future may now be predicted with high accuracy.

A NASA post on X, formerly Twitter, said a best practice would be to hold a pair of eclipse glasses in front of the phone's lens when photographing the sun at any point during the eclipse, except ...
Baily's beads. The Baily's beads, diamond ring or more rarely double diamond ring effects, [1] are features of total and annular solar eclipses. Although caused by the same phenomenon, they are distinct events during these types of solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows ...
According to the National Solar Observatory map, Cape Codders can expect to view a partial eclipse with 88% of the sun blocked by the moon’s shadow, starting at 2:16 p.m. and the max eclipse at ...
Solar prominences can be seen along the limb (in red) as well as extensive coronal filaments. An eclipse is an astronomical event which occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.
