The
Sun is 4.5 billion years old and has used up half of the hydrogen
in its core. It will continue to radiate for another 5 billion years,
its luminosity doubling in that time. Then it will run out of hydrogen
fuel and will be forced into radical changes. (above) |

The
three photographs of the total solar eclipse of 1995 Oct 24 were taken
by Fred Espenak of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center from the small
town of Dundlod, India. The eclipse was unique for its low altitude
(23 ¡) and short duration (40 seconds), due to the fact that the Moon
was only 1.1% larger than the Sun. |

The
highly rarified region above the chromosphere, called the corona,
extends millions of kilometers into space but is visible only during
eclipses (left). Temperatures in the corona are over 1,000,000 K.
