   Explanation: Start at the upper left above and you can follow the
   progress of April 8's total eclipse of the Sun in seven sharp, separate
   exposures. The image sequence was recorded with a telescope and camera
   located within the narrow path of totality as the Moon's shadow swept
   across Newport, Vermont, USA. At center is a spectacular view of the
   solar corona. The tenuous outer atmosphere of the Sun is only easily
   visible to the eye in clear dark skies during the total eclipse phase.
   Seen from Newport, the total phase for this solar eclipse lasted about
   3 minutes and 26 seconds.
