corona?
The corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the sun, is visible as a faint, pearly-white halo around the sun during a solar eclipse. It appears as wispy tendrils and streams of light extending outward from the sun's surface.
The name of the light visible during a solar eclipse due to the Moon's rough surface is called "Baily's beads." As the Moon moves in front of the Sun, sunlight shines through the rugged terrain on the Moon's surface, creating this effect of bright spots resembling a string of beads.
During a solar eclipse, the two parts of the Sun's outer layer that are visible from Earth are the chromosphere and the corona. The chromosphere appears as a thin red ring just beyond the Sun's disk, while the corona is the outermost layer, forming a halo of plasma that extends far into space. These layers become visible when the moon obscures the bright light of the Sun's surface.
No. The next solar eclipse to be visible in the USA will be an annular eclipse on May 20, 2012. The next total eclipse visible in the US will be on August 21, 2017.
That's because a solar eclipse is caused when the Moon gets between the Earth and the Sun, blocks the Sun's light when viewed from Earth, and casts a shadow on Earth's surface. The Moon's shadow on Earth's surface is very small, and the moon only aligns with the Sun when viewed from a small area, so a total eclipse only happens for a very small region. If you're outside that shadow, the sky won't go dark, and the Moon won't completely block the Sun's disc, but you will see the Moon cover at least part of it. A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, is visible across the entire night side of Earth.

The visible surface of the sun is called the photosphere. It emits light that we can see, and is where most of the sun's energy is radiated into space.
The layer nearest to the sun's surface is the photosphere. It is visible during a solar eclipse as the sun's visible surface and is where most of the sun's energy is emitted as light and heat.

A total solar eclipse is visible only across a narrow path of the Earth's surface; generally no more than 200 miles across, and sometimes much less. A total lunar eclipse occurs on the Moon itself, and is visible from the entire night side of the Earth.
When a lunar eclipse is in progress, it's visible from any place on earth where the moon is visible ... nominally half of the earth's surface. There is no month during which a lunar eclipse can't occur, and no place on earth from which a lunar eclipse can't be seen.The story is completely different regarding SOLAR eclipses. When the sun is in eclipse, the appearance is different depending on the observer's position on earth; in particular, the eclipse appears 'total' from only a small region at any one time.If the question had specified a 'solar eclipse', then in Antarctica, for example, there is a large part of the continent where the sun never rises in June, so a June solar eclipse could never be observed from there.
The eclipse will not be visible in Dallas (or anywhere else in the United States, with the exception of Hawaii where a partial eclipse of about 10% will be visible).
There will be a total lunar eclipse visible in North America on December 21, 2010; it will be very partially visible in the UK as the Moon will go into eclipse as it is setting. There will be a total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011 primarily visible in India and eastern Africa, which will be partially visible in the UK when the Moon will rise already coming out of eclipse.
The layer of the sun that is only visible in an eclipse is called the corona.

The photosphere is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere that emits visible light. It is the region where most of the sun's energy is radiated into space. The photosphere is the part of the Sun that we see as the visible surface.
