   Explanation: How would you feel if the Sun disappeared? Many eclipse
   watchers [7]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 [8]glowing beads around the Moon's edge,
   shockingly pink [9]solar prominences, and a strangely [10]detailed
   corona stretching across the sky caught many a curmudgeon [11]by
   [12]surprise. Many of these attributes [13]were captured in the
   [14]featured real-time, three-minute video of [15]2017's total solar
   eclipse. The [16]video frames were acquired in [17]Warm Springs,
   [18]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
   [19]Sun is seen being reborn on the other side of the [20]Moon from
   where it departed. Next month, on April 8th, a [21]new total solar
   eclipse will be visible in a thin band across North America.
