Then it is shown just before total eclipse, which is pictured in the third photograph, when only the corona of lijrM behind the moon could be seen. The fourth photograph was taken just two seconds after total eclipse and is a most unusual one in that it shows the flaring corona with an enormous "prominence," extending into spnea hundreds of thousands of miles. This "piomineiice" is shown at the "five o'clock" point, where it shaped into a perfect image or a butterfly. , The fifth and sixth pictures show the sun as the eclipse declined, the cres cent of light now being in opposite position to that of the start of th eclipse. .Ji.
