The diamond ring effect during a solar eclipse
Diamond ring effect. View of the diamond ring effect seen during a partial phase of the total solar eclipse which occurred on February 26th 1998. This effect may be seen for a few seconds just before or after the totality when only a tiny fragment of the solar disc is visible. The solar corona is visible as a green halo around the solar disc. It is a region of low density and temperature of about 1 million Kelvin. The solar corona is usually undetectable due to the overwhelming brightness of the inner region of the solar atmosphere known as the photosphere. Photographed from Aruba in the West Indies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing diamond ring effect during a partial phase of a total solar eclipse that occurred on February 26th, 1998. The image showcases the fleeting moment just before or after totality when only a tiny fragment of the sun's disc is visible, creating an ethereal spectacle. The diamond ring effect refers to the stunning sight resembling a sparkling jewel in the sky as sunlight peeks through lunar valleys and creates a dazzling burst of light. In this photograph taken from Aruba in the West Indies, we witness this extraordinary phenomenon against a backdrop of deep space. The green halo surrounding the solar disc represents the elusive solar corona, which typically remains hidden due to its low density and temperature compared to the intensely bright photosphere. With temperatures reaching approximately 1 million Kelvin, this outer atmosphere unveils itself during eclipses like these. This remarkable image not only showcases nature's breathtaking beauty but also provides valuable insights into our understanding of astronomy and cosmology. It serves as a reminder of how celestial events can captivate us with their sheer magnificence and inspire further exploration into our vast universe.
