Photos of solar gases about the moon

I stumbled across this today, and it's really neat. The photo to the right, from the link below, shows a corona which can't normally be seen because of the brightness of the Sun, a broiling sea of hydrogen gas at 10,000c. But during a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks out the Sun and the corona is spectacularly revealed. Read the article and see enlarged photos of the event:
