westyI have been in one of these , whats funny is the way all the wild life gets totally confused, all the birds go mental and start flying around.
its not that dissimular to when a huge storm cloud suddenly covers the sun on a clear sunny day.
worth going to see

siftbotSelf promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by original submitter Zifnab.
OrnthoronVery cool. If you pause the video at for instance 3:20 or 5:00, you can discern the Sun's magnetic field lines as vague filaments in the corona. This is because the charged plasma particles in the corona are unable to travel transverse to the field lines.
This is also the best live footage I've ever seen of a solar prominence.
phelixianI have seen a couple of these and an annular eclipse. The coolest thing from the annular was the shadows of everything which somehow become razor sharp and each contained a small image of the eclipsed sun.... absurdly cool.
lucky760Ahhhhh, sugoi!
TrancecoachAs our technology develops, we shall learn yet more interesting details about our local solar system's one and only sun.
