![Solar Eclipse Yesterday, I and my family traveled north and west in Maine to see a total eclipse of the sun. We intended to go into the town of Greenville about 2 hours and 20 minutes away under normal conditions. We never actually got there as about 12 or so miles from the town the traffic slowed to about 3 miles per hour. We decided to explore a small road that led through a rural area. It took awhile but we found a more or less perfect place with a few other people all parked along the road in the small community of Blanchard. It had a couple of large open fields on one side and a cemetery on the other. It was warm and not a cloud in the sky. The totality lasted about 3.5 minutes. I had not intended to try to photograph the sun but at the last minute decided to just take a series of photos by quickly going through a set of camera settings. I took of the eye protection and enjoyed the rest of the show with a couple more photos toward the horizon. Only when I got back last evening and was able to see the exposures was I able to see this and other images. I used Topaz to double the size and to remove noise. A few basic adjustments in Lightroom were done. I will probably work one this and a couple others. There are many options available. The two red shapes in the corona are solar prominences as described below. I thing the red dot on the right is noise as it is not in other exposures.
In solar physics, a prominence, sometimes referred to as a filament, is a large plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the solar corona. While the corona consists of extremely hot plasma, prominences contain much cooler plasma, similar in composition to that of the chromosphere.
Prominences form over timescales of about a day and may persist in the corona for several weeks or months, looping hundreds of thousands of kilometers into space. Some prominences may give rise to coronal mass ejections. Scientists are currently researching how and why prominences are formed.
