Total Solar Eclipse in Buffalo, NY on April 8, 2024

"Attached are some photos taken during the Solar Eclipse.  All are from a location at the north end of Grand Island.  

In one of the photos, there is a prominent red dot at the base of the moon. This is a solar prominence usually a rare site during an eclipse.  The prominence appears red because the emitting plasma originates deep in the sun's chromosphere." ~ Paul Leuchner
