                        A Partial Eclipse of an Active Sun

      Explanation: Watch for three things in this unusual eclipse video.   
      First, watch for a big dark circle to approach from the right to block   
      out more and more of the Sun. This dark circle is the Moon, and the   
      video was made primarily to capture this partial solar eclipse last   
      week. Next, watch a large solar prominence hover and shimmer over the   
      Sun's edge. A close look will show that part of it is actually falling   
      back to the Sun. The prominence is made of hot plasma that is   
      temporarily held aloft by the Sun's changing magnetic field. Finally,   
      watch the Sun's edge waver. What is wavering is a dynamic carpet of hot   
      gas tubes rising and falling through the Sun's chromosphere -- tubes   
      known as spicules. The entire 4-second time-lapse video covers a time   
      of about ten minutes, although the Sun itself is expected to last   
      another 5 billion years.
