                    A Total Solar Eclipse Close-Up in Real Time

      Explanation: How would you feel if the Sun disappeared? Many eclipse   
      watchers across the USA surprised themselves in 2017 with the awe that   
      they felt and the exclamations that they made as the Sun momentarily   
      disappeared behind the Moon. Perhaps expecting just a brief moment of   
      dusk, the spectacle of unusually rapid darkness, breathtakingly bright   
      glowing beads around the Moon's edge, shockingly pink solar   
      prominences, and a strangely detailed corona stretching across the sky   
      caught many a curmudgeon by surprise. Many of these attributes were   
      captured in the featured real-time, three-minute video of 2017's total   
      solar eclipse. The video frames were acquired in Warm Springs, Oregon   
      with equipment specifically designed by Jun Ho Oh to track a close-up   
      of the Sun's periphery during eclipse. As the video ends, the Sun is   
      seen being reborn on the other side of the Moon from where it departed.   
      Next month, on April 8th, a new total solar eclipse will be visible in   
      a thin band across North America.
