Corona
Science is gay!
The corona.
The corona.
It is called corona. It's the outermost layer of the sun
No part of the solar eclipse of July 21-22, 2009 was visible from anywhere in the US.
During a solar eclipse, the only part of the Sun that can be seen is its outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is because the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright surface, allowing the fainter corona to be visible.
You can see the corona during a total solar eclipse
The thin red rim around the Sun during a total solar eclipse is called the solar chromosphere. It is the lower part of the Sun's atmosphere and is visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon fully covers the Sun's bright disk, allowing the chromosphere to be seen.
If there is a total lunar eclipse, everybody sees it as total. If there is a total solar eclipse, only people in a small part of Earth see it as total - most will see it as a partial eclipse, or not at all.

The next total solar eclipse will be on July 22, 2009. It will be visible from northern India through China. The next total solar eclipse visible in the United States will be on August 21, 2017. It will be visible from Oregon through South Carolina, but in Georgia it will be only visible as a total eclipse in the very northeastern corner of the state. Much of the rest of the USA will see a partial eclipse. The next total eclipse visible in the southern part of Georgia will be on March 30, 2052.
