Greetings Card : Total solar eclipse
Cards from Science Photo Library
Total solar eclipse
The large, shining corona of the Sun, seen during the total solar eclipse of 11 July 1991 from Baja Caifornia, Mexico. The visible corona is in fact the overlapping K-corona and F-corona. Usually it is only visible during eclipses, as the light from the Suns photosphere drowns it out. The K-corona consists of fast-moving free electrons at a temperature of about 2 million Kelvin, at heights of about 75, 000km above the Suns surface. The F- corona extends for many million km, and consists mainly of slow-moving particles of cosmic dust. The shape of the corona changes during the cycle of solar activity under the infuence of the Suns magnetic field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of a total solar eclipse that occurred on July 11,1991, in Baja California, Mexico. The image showcases the large and radiant corona of the Sun, which is typically concealed by the overwhelming brightness of its photosphere. During an eclipse, however, this magnificent spectacle becomes visible to us. The corona we see here is actually a combination of two overlapping components: the K-corona and F-corona. The K-corona consists of fast-moving free electrons at incredibly high temperatures reaching around 2 million Kelvin. It exists at heights approximately 75,000 kilometers above the Sun's surface. On the other hand, stretching for millions of kilometers beyond lies the F-corona composed mainly of slow-moving cosmic dust particles. Throughout different stages of solar activity influenced by magnetic fields emanating from our star, this ethereal corona undergoes transformations in shape and appearance. This extraordinary photograph not only provides a glimpse into celestial beauty but also serves as a reminder of our profound connection to space and its mysteries. With elements like science, astronomy, cosmology intertwined with notions such as energy and abnormality - it sparks curiosity about our place in this vast universe. Courtesy Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), this print invites contemplation on both scientific wonders and artistic appreciation for nature's grandeur.
