Total solar eclipses represent a unique opportunity to study the sun's corona from Earth, as the sun's brightness and the atmospheric scattering of that brightness otherwise overwhelms attempts to visualize the corona. Also visible from Earth to the unaided eye were many solar prominences, as well as the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mars. Observers using long-exposure photography were able to capture images of the planets Mercury and Saturn plus two comets during the eclipse, comets SOHO-5008 and 12P/Pons Brooks.

Features made visible during the eclipse
Total solar eclipses represent a unique opportunity to study the sun's corona from Earth, as the sun's brightness and the atmospheric scattering of that brightness otherwise overwhelms attempts to visualize the corona. Also visible from Earth to the unaided eye were many solar prominences, as well as the planets Venus, Jupiter, and Mars. Observers using long-exposure photography were able to capture images of the planets Mercury and Saturn plus two comets during the eclipse, comets SOHO-5008 and 12P/Pons Brooks.
