Betty's List Feature
Wednesday, March 29, 2006 - NASA TV's streaming webcast, in a joint project with UC
Berkeley
and the Exploratorium, shared
a rare total
solar eclipse with a worldwide audience. The total eclipse was visible along a path from South America to Africa to
Asia. #1: Emerging from the more than four-minute long total eclipse
stage, the sun produces an effect known as the "diamond ring."
#2:
During the total eclipse stage, solar flares known as "prominences" are
visible at the edge of the moon's shadow. #3 The outer atmosphere
(corona) of the sun is visible when the the sun is totally obscured by
the moon's shadow during the stage known as "totality." #4 & #5: Images from the International Space Station 230 miles
above show views of the moon's shadow falling on Earth. (All Photos:
