The flash spectrum of the sun
In a split second of time, the visible spectrum of the sun changed from absorption to emission on November 3rd, due to the brief total phase of a solar eclipse. This moment of different colors was captured by a telephoto lens and from a place in Africa called Gabon. With a large amount of light from the Sun blocked by the moon, the normally able to be viewed absorption spectrum is hidden. The brightest emissions and lines are due to the presence of Hydrogen that produces red beta to the right and blue beta to the left.
