ECLIPSE GLOSSARY<\/h2>\n

ANNULUS<\/strong>
The ring of light that is seen around the Moon during an annular solar eclipse.<\/p>\n

CORONA<\/strong>
The outermost layer of the Sun\u2019s atmosphere, which is visible during a total solar eclipse as a halo of faint light.<\/p>\n

PROMINENCE<\/strong>
Gaseous eruptions or loops of plasma that can be seen along the edges of the Sun during a total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n

RING OF FIRE<\/strong>
Another term for annulus.<\/p>\n

SYZYGY<\/strong>
The technical term for when three objects in space (like the Sun, Earth, and the Moon) line up. (Pronunciation of this term is tricky. It sounds like \u201csi-zuh-jee.\u201d)<\/p>\n

TOTALITY<\/strong>

Below are the photos I took using my camera! I left Sunday evening (8-20-2017) at 11 PM. I drove the 635 miles to Clemson University and got there at 8 AM on 8-21. I slept for an hour in my car, then went to the park area and took these photographs. I left at 4 PM and got home almost 12 hours later at 3:30 because the traffic was so bad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John let me use the filter from the top of his telescope (all my orange pics were taken using it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some clouds got in the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sufficient clouds that I could take this with no filter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to the filter as the clouds moved away:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
