The title points to the sun's corona, the pale outer atmosphere that becomes visible only when the moon fully blocks the sun's disk. In 1925 a total solar eclipse crossed the western United States, and astronomers and amateur observers set up telescopes and cameras to record the event. Photographs like this one were valuable because the corona lasts only minutes, and images taken during totality helped scientists study its structure and shape. The print captures a moment that few people could see in person, when daytime briefly turned to twilight.
