Just before the end of totality, the sun’s red chromosphere, a layer of atmosphere just above the bright photosphere, becomes visible along the western limb of the sun. It had a very bright arching prominence projecting from it. Another large prominence was visible farther up along the western limb. The prominences previously visible on the eastern limb of the sun had been covered up by the advancing edge of the moon.
