In this image, from Jefferson City, Missouri, the sun’s corona creates a brilliant halo and forms a ring of light around the edge of the moon.
A total solar eclipse swept across a 70-mile-wide path of the continental United States for the first time in 99 years. During the rare celestial event, the moon’s shadow moved from west to east creating a diagonal path of totality in 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina. Spectators along the path of totality experienced more than 2 minutes of twilight in the middle of the day. Observers in the remainder of North America, and parts of South America, Africa and Europe saw a partial solar eclipse where the moon covered part of the sun’s disk.

At center is an image of the sun’s surface as seen by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths of light.
During a total solar eclipse, ground-based telescopes can observe the lowest part of the solar corona in a way that can’t be done at any other time, as the dim corona is normally obscured by the bright light of the Sun. The structure in the ground-based corona image — defined by giant magnetic fields sweeping out from the Sun’s surface — can clearly be seen extending into the outer image from the space-based telescope. The more scientists understand about the lower corona, the more they can understand what causes the constant outward stream of material called the solar wind, as well as occasional giant eruptions called coronal mass ejections.

However, an eclipse on the ground doesn’t guarantee that SDO will see anything out of the ordinary. On Aug. 21, SDO also saw the Moon briefly pass in front of the Sun at the same time that the Moon’s shadow passed over the eastern United States. SDO only saw 14 percent of the Sun blocked by the Moon, while most U.S. residents saw 60 percent blockage or more.Credit: NASA/SDOhttps://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2017/sdos-view-of-the-aug-21-2017-solar-eclipse-animation", "width": 1024, "height": 575, "pixels": 588800 } }, { "id": 438775, "type": "media", "extra_data": null, "title": null, "caption": null, "instance": { "id": 1100459, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a030000/a030800/a030893/2017-eclipse-images-13.hwshow", "filename": "2017-eclipse-images-13.hwshow", "media_type": "HyperwallShow", "alt_text": "", "width": 0, "height": 0, "pixels": null } } ], "extra_data": {} }, { "id": 329390, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30893/#media_group_329390", "widget": "Single image", "title": "", "caption": "", "description": "This composite image shows the progression of a partial solar eclipse over Ross Lake, in Northern Cascades National Park, Washington on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017.

These powerful jets can sometimes erupt 10 million to 12 million miles into space.
The images were taken with Hinode's X-ray telescope (XRT) as it flew above the Pacific Ocean, off the west coast of the United States, at an altitude of approximately 422 miles (680 km).
