APOD 4.2

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.
     I was looking at the APOD titled "Corona from Svalbard". This is a picture that depicts a solar eclipse. The white outline seen in this picture is the crown of the sun or better known as its corona. What I find amazing about this picture is that it is actually a composite of 29 different pictures put in one. It looks just like it is made of only one picture. Something else I find interesting about this picture is that details of the new moon can be seen in this picture. Usually the new moon remains black but here one can see the craters of the moon.
