This extended shot of a total solar eclipse was taken over Svalbard, Norway. The picture had an interval of 3 minutes. It was a perfect interval, as you can see all the stages of the eclipse. Then the total eclipse looks like a gem in the sky. It is just so brilliant and elegant. This attraction was huge with eclipse seekers. Not only is this a rare event but it is also in a underpopulated place. The moon is the black dot in the middle. The shining ring around it is the suns corona. The suns corona is a peculiar aspect of it. In the layers of the sun it's supposed to get cooloer as it reaches its surface. It does, until it hits the corona, the corona layer heats up to 10 million Kelven. Thats 2/3 the way to fusion. The next total eclipse is going to happen in 2016 March. This will be visible form the Southeast Asia. Another cool aspect of this picture is that it has the lapse of each stage of the eclipse.
