HUAHUAHUAHUAH!!!

heres a link to some more nice ones.

This is really awesome. This picture of the same elispe is not actually one photo but composed of 31 different images The photo shows the solar corona that make up the sun’s “atmosphere” in glorious detail. Its whorls and loops extend millions of miles into space, are nearly 200 times hotter than the visible surface of the sun, and yet aren’t nearly as bright (by a factor of something like a million), hence, we can only see them during eclipses. I love the delicate beauty of this photo, and how it makes various features of the corona so plainly visible, like the difference in activity around its polar regions, as well as the dim, cratered surface of the moon. 

i like that you can see the features of the moon.
