What To Expect During the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse (Part 2)

The Sun's Chromosphere
The Sun's atmosphere has 3 layers: the photosphere, the Chromosphere and the Corona. The Chromosphere, which gives out the reddish glow can be only seen for a few seconds right after the diamond ring disappears during a total eclipse of the Sun.

The Sun's Corona
Like the Chromosphere, the Sun's corona is only visible during a Total Solar Eclipse. It can be Seen as a faint ring of rays surrounding the dark Moon during Totality.

Shadow Bands
About one minute before and after totality, moving wavy lines of alternating light and dark can be seen on plain colored surfaces. These shadow bands are the result of light emitted from a thin solar crescent being refracted by the Earth's atmosphere.

In Next Month's Edition
Okay we might have jumped a head a bit talking about the phases of a Total Solar Eclipse, so check out next months newsletter for details on what you will witness during the 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse! By the next edition, that eclipse will be just around the corner!!!

Oh and Don't forget.....

An Eclipse Never Comes Alone!

A solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.

Usually, there are two eclipses in a row, but other times, there are three during the same eclipse season. Thanks timeanddate.com
