Sorry; the eclipse ended about 45 minutes ago. It was only visible in Asia, along a path from northern India to central China. It was not visible at all from North America.
The next total eclipse visible in North America will be on August 21, 2017, along a track from Portland, OR to Charleston, SC.

The corona.
The corona on the Sun is the plasma aura that surrounds the Sun. It extends millions of kilometers into space and has extremely high temperatures.
In a total Solar Eclipse, the moon blocks the sun from being seen, revealing the Suns Corona.
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 corona.
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.

The Sun's "corona".
The white halo that can be seen during the Solar Eclipse is the Sun's Corona.
The corona on the Sun is the plasma aura that surrounds the Sun. It extends millions of kilometers into space and has extremely high temperatures.
The light seen around the sun during a total solar eclipse is the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The corona appears as a shimmering ring of light due to the sun's intense heat and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun, revealing the sun's outer atmosphere.
