The corona always emits light, but normally it is hidden by the light of the much brighter photosphere. During a total solar eclipse the moon completely blocks the photosphere, allowing us to see the surrounding corona.

The naked eye can only see the sun's corona during a solar eclipse because the sun's corona is a million times fainter than the surface of the sun. The corona can be monitored year round through special telescopes.

You can see the Sun's corona any time you like. You just need something to block the light from the Sun, because the Sun is so much brighter than the corona. Special telescopes called "corona telescopes" allow you to photograph the corona.

Solar eclipses are special, because the Moon blocks the Sun's light just as a corona telescope would. So, for those few moments during a solar eclipse, you don't need a million dollars worth of equipment to see the corona.
