One week ago today, the Moon passed in front of the sun producing a total eclipse visible from coast to coast in the USA. Here is how the magical minutes of totality ended, as recorded by Kenneth Edwards in Casper, Wyoming:
Pink hydrogen-filled prominences are visible along the edge of the sun just before the Moon moves away to reveal the glaring inferno below. Rays of sunshine lance through gaps in the Moon's mountainous terrain, creating "Baily's Beads" and the "Diamond Ring" effect. Not a bad way to wrap up a total eclipse.
