Solar Corona and Prominences: Historical Eclipse View
A dark circular disc is surrounded by a brilliant irregular corona. Fine rays extend into the surrounding field, with larger looping forms projecting near the edge. The printed caption names Solar Corona and Prominences. The engraving in The Story of the Sun, Moon, and Stars separates the obscured disc from the luminous structures made conspicuous around it.
