Astronomy Picture of the Day

   [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our
      fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation
                    written by a professional astronomer.

   [2]A sequence of images showing the Moon covering increasing amounts of
   the Sun is shown, with the center image showing a total solar eclipse.
     The great corona of the Sun can be seen around the dark moon in the
   center image. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

   Explanation: Will the sky be clear enough to see the eclipse? This
   question is already on the minds of many North Americans hoping to see
   [4]tomorrow's solar eclipse. This question was also on the mind of many
   people attempting to see the total solar eclipse that crossed North
   America in [5]August 2017. Then, the path of total darkness shot across
   the mainland of the [6]USA from [7]coast to coast, from [8]Oregon to
   [9]South Carolina -- but, like tomorrow's event, a partial eclipse
   occurred above most of [10]North America. Unfortunately, in 2017, many
   locations [11]saw predominantly clouds. One location that did not was a
   bank of the [12]Green River Lakes, [13]Wyoming. Intermittent clouds
   were far enough away to allow the center image of the [14]featured
   composite sequence to be taken, an image that shows the [15]corona of
   the Sun extending out past the central dark [16]Moon that blocks
   [17]our familiar Sun. The surrounding images show the [18]partial
   phases of the solar eclipse both before and after totality.
