    Total Solar Eclipse


    Image above: The sun's corona, or outer atmosphere, is visible during totality -- when the sun is totally obscured by the moon's shadow.



    Image above: Left: The sun creates a "diamond ring" effect as it emerges after totality. Right: Solar flares, or "prominences" are visible at the edge of the moon's shadow.



    Image above: Left: The moon's shadow falls on Earth, as seen from the International Space Station 230 miles above. Expedition 13, the next space station crew, launches from Kazakhstan tonight

    Homer: We're proud of you, boy.

    Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
