TL;DR

During the rare total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, viewers were able to witness the sun's glowing, ghostly corona and vivid red or pinkish solar prominences, which are eruptions from the sun's surface. These phenomena, composed of hot hydrogen and helium gas, extend hundreds to thousands of miles into space and can last weeks to months. The next total solar eclipse to sweep across parts of the U.S. will be in 2044 and 2045, providing an amazing experience not to be missed.
