The above image depicts the solar corona's change from
near solar minimum in 2017 (lower half) to near maximum in 2023 (upper half)

The image data has been remapped from its orginal circular format
to a "panoramic" retangular format, then mirrored to form a single image.

The upcoming April 8th 2024 Total Solar Eclipse path will cross Mexico and the USA
and should display and even more active corona as ther Sun nears solar maximim.
