Predict the Corona Activities

Long before there were cameras, telescopes, or spacecraft, the only opportunity early peoples would have had to view the Sun’s corona was during a total solar eclipse, when the shadow of the Moon completely blocks the bright light of the Sun’s surface. Today, scientists still use total solar eclipses as exciting opportunities to study the corona and the effect of the solar wind on Earth.
