Explanation: How would you feel if the Sun disappeared? Many eclipse watchers across the USA surprised themselves in 2017 with the awe that they felt and the exclamations that they made as the Sun momentarily disappeared behind the Moon. Perhaps expecting just a brief moment of dusk, the spectacle of unusually rapid darkness, breathtakingly bright glowing beads around the Moon’s edge, shockingly pink solar prominences, and a strangely detailed corona stretching across the sky caught many a curmudgeon by surprise. Many of these attributes were captured in the featured real-time, three-minute video of 2017’s total solar eclipse. The video frames were acquired in Warm Springs, Oregon with equipment specifically designed by Jun Ho Oh to track a close-up of the Sun’s periphery during eclipse. As the video ends, the Sun is seen being reborn on the other side of the Moon from where it departed. Next month, on April 8th, a new total solar eclipse will be visible in a thin band across North America.

说明: 如果太阳消失了，你的感受会是什么？2017年散布在美国各地的日食观赏者，于太阳短暂消失在月亮后方时，对自己感受到的敬畏和惊叹深为惊讶。或许原先只是预期暮色会短暂降临，然而极快速降临的黑暗、月盘边缘令人屏息的明亮贝里珠、叹为观止的粉红日珥、及绵延整个天空的细致日冕，则完全超出许多人的意料。上述的数个特点，出现在这部摄于2017年日全食期间的3分钟长实时影片里。这部摄于美国奥勒冈州温泉镇的影片，使用了Jun Ho Oh所设计的特殊设备，对全食期间出现在太阳边缘的景观进行细部观测。在影片结尾时，太阳从月盘的另一侧复现和离开。下个月的4月18日，在穿过北美洲的细窄食带里，可见到另一例日全食。
