The Sun-Earth Connection: Eclipses, Explosions and Space Weather Forecasts
By Mary Miller
For a few minutes during a total solar eclipse, when the disk of the moon slides precisely between our planet and the sun, we'll glimpse a sight seldom seen: the sun's hot, churning atmosphere, called the corona. Unless light from the sun is blocked, the corona is usually too dim for us to see from earth. During an eclipse, we'll have a better view of the lower corona than even space telescopes can provide. |
"Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
"Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."
Dennis O'Kelly c1720-87: comment at Epsom, 3 May 1769 |
"NATURE is what we see,
The Hill, the Afternoon-
Squirrel, Eclipse, the Bumble-bee,
Nay-Nature is Heaven."
Emily Dickinson (1830-86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
