Total Solar Eclipse in Totality

This is an image of the Great North American Eclipse at Totality taken in Morrilton, AR April 8th, 2024. The Moon completely occludes the Sun, allowing the Sun's corona to be visible to the eye as well as multiple plasma plumes in a vibrant pink color. These plumes are at least 3x the size of Earth!
