  • The solar corona shines bright over the pinnacle of a butte in the Mormon Basin of Malheur County, Oregon, during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that we typically see. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible.

  • The full moon falls into total eclipse, becoming what is popularly referred to as a blood moon on January 20, 2019. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. A small amount of red-orange light, however, bends around the Earth and passes through its atmosphere, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering, causing the moon to glow red during the totality phase of the eclipse.

  • The sun's corona is visible to the naked eye during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, as viewed from Malheur County, Oregon. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that is typically visible. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible. The bright star Regulus is visible near the bottom left corner of the image.

  • The full moon in a type of lunar eclipse known as a Super Blood Moon rises over Mount Rainier in Washington state. The total lunar eclipse of September 27, 2015 occurred when the moon was at perigee — its closest approach to Earth — making the moon appear more than 10 percent larger. While lunar eclipses are relatively common, it is rare for an eclipse to happen when the moon is at perigee. Such eclipses only happen about once every 20 years. Mount Rainier, an active volcano, has an elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), making it the tallest mountain in the Cascade Range and the highest point in Washington state.

  • A cluster of Giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) known as The House grow together in Sequoia National Park, California. Giant Sequoias are the world's largest trees in terms of total volume, with the largest trees reaching 311 feet (95 meters) in height and more than 56 feet (17 meters) in diameter. The oldest Giant Sequoias are more than 3,000 years old. Sequoias are unique in that they can grow close together, sharing root systems, to get the water they need.

  • Shiprock, a prominent peak located northwestern New Mexico, is turned golden at sunrise. The peak rises 1,583 ft (482 m) above the surrounding landscape and has a total elevation of 7,177 ft (2,188 m). The peak is located on Navajo tribal land and is sacred to them. The Navajo name for the peak is Tsé Bit'a'í, which means "rock with wings." Tribal legend says a great bird brought the Navajo people from the North to the present-day Four Corners area.

  • A key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) pauses on a dirt road on No Name Key, one of the Florida Keys. The key deer is North America's smallest deer, with a typical height of just 30 inches (76 cm) at their shoulders. Found only in the Florida Keys, the key deer is endangered, with a total population of only about 700-800. On average, 30-40 key deer are killed each year by vehicles.

  • A group of yellow-eyed penguins (Megadyptes antipodes), also known as Hoiho, preen themselves as they march up the hillside to their colony at Nugget Point in the Catlins at the southern tip of the South Island of New Zealand. Yellow-eyed penguins are endangered and are one of the most rare penguins in the world with a total population of only about 4,000. About 90 percent of the yellow-eyed penguin's diet consists of fish. During the breeding season, many of the penguins spend the entire day hunting in the ocean. They enter the Pacific Ocean at dawn and return at dusk, venturing as far as 25 kilometers (16 miles) offshore and diving to depts of up to 120 meters (394 feet).

  • A yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes), also known as Hoiho, waits for members of its colony to return at the edge of the Pacific Ocean at Nugget Point in the Catlins at the southern tip of the South Island of New Zealand.

  • Horsetail Fall, an ephemeral waterfall that plunges from the top of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California, is reddened by the setting sun. The waterfall, which flows only for a few weeks each year in late winter and early spring, drops a total of 2,130 feet (650 meters). Horsetail Fall is best known for its dramatic "fire fall" effect, which if the weather and water supply conditions are just right, occurs each year in late February when the setting sun directly lights up the waterfall.

  • A composite of six images captured from Seattle, Washington, shows the progression of the lunar eclipse on December 10, 2011. Captured over a one-hour period, the composite shows the Earth gradually passing between the sun and the moon. The eclipse was visible from eastern Europe to the western United States and is the last total lunar eclipse until April 15, 2014.

  • One of the seven tiers of Bridal Veil Falls is visible between trees in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest near Index, Washington. Bridal Veil Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Washington state, dropping a total of 1,291 feet (393 meters). The waterfall's source is the water of Lake Serene, which is located on Mount Index. It ultimately flows into the Skykomish River.
