The 2015 solar eclipse over the upper part of the planet has generated tremendous popularity lately, despite its passing over few population centers able to actually see it considering weather conditions. This composite image of 29 telescopic images displays the brilliant corona of the sun in all its glory, only able to be seen well considering the entire rest of the sun is blocked out by the moon. These pictures were taken on March 20th, the day of the eclipse. Pink solar prominences are visible along the edge of the moon, as well as the specific surface features of the dark side of the moon surprisingly, illuminated by sunlight reflecting off of Earth.
