This composite image combines pictures of the Sun made from both Earth and space. The central direct image of the solar surface was recorded on Feb. 26, 1998 by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on board the space based SOHO observatory. It is surrounded by a telescopic picture of the Sun as seen from the island of Aruba during the total eclipse. The surrounding view of the eclipsed Sun reveals the shimmering solar corona, visible to ground based observers during totality.
