November 3,2013 Total Solar Eclipse
The Sun’s 864,000-mile diameter is fully 400 times greater than that of our puny Moon, which measures just 2,160 miles.

Be careful: Watching a solar eclipse requires some safety measures. While it’s perfectly safe to view a total solar eclipse — when no direct sunlight is reaching your eye — you should never look directly at the sun itself

During a total solar eclipse, a few ruby-red spots may seem to hover around the jet-black disk of the Moon. Those are solar prominences, tongues of incandescent hydrogen gas rising above the surface of the Sun
