the corona

Which isn't exactly true, or at least, not any longer. The spooky, glowing halo around the Sun during a total eclipse seems bright only in comparison to the blackness of space; compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is almost nothing. But because scientists wanted to study the solar corona and solar eclipses are very short and happen at difficult-to-get-to locations, they wanted a way to create an artificial eclipse so they could study it all the time.
This was the inspiration for the coronagraph, a special telescope that blots out the disk of the Sun itself and allows astronomers to examine the corona whenever they like.

Why are sun rays more harmful during a solar eclipse for pregnant women?
Your eyes are at risk during a solar eclipse. You can burn your retinas at the back of your eyes. If you're looking at the sun normally, your pupils will contract and only allow a little bit of light in. Less radiation gets to your retinas. The intensity of the sun's light usually prevents you from looking at it directly anyway. During an eclipse, the direct sunlight is blocked by the moon, but not all of the radiation. Your pupils dilate because it gets darker, and strong radiation that does not affect the pupils is allowed to penetrate to the back of the eye. Therefore, never look directly at the sun during an eclipse. The safest methods are to use a pinhole projection onto a flat surface, or to use a certified filter made for the purpose of solar observations.
What would happen if you lived on the moon and there was an eclipse?
