Just before a solar eclipse the temperature drops,
birds & insects start singing - light is otherworldly
daytime turns into all-around dusk and where the
sun once was - a black hole appears in the sky
Ensconced within a luminous ethereal wreath -
which is the Solar Corona, the Sun atmosphere,
ionized gas - consisting of electrons and nuclei
of hydrogen & helium atoms, forms a launchpad
For the solar wind - charged particles streams -
escaping from the corona - to cover the planets
and thinning upon reaching interstellar space, the
corona events affect all sun worlds - earth also
And the human society we have constructed - yet
in spite of 80 years of study the sun corona still is
a mystery: The solar wind speeds up upon leaving
the sun while particles shoot out of the corona so
Energetically, almost reaching the speed of light,
the most baffling thing is the corona is a hundred
times hotter than the sun surface - how’s that!
