A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.
A deep image of the Sun's surrounding corona during the April 2023 total solar eclipse. The central disk is dark and many bright and complex rays are seen extending out. A few hot pink filaments can be seen just around the Sun's edge.
