A trio of eclipse chasers captured what experts confirm is the first documented observation of the solar corona during a partial solar eclipse.

The remarkable images were taken from Quebec , Canada , during the March 29, 2025 , partial eclipse.

"It's a really interesting observation that could be repeated in the future," said a solar physicist.

A total solar eclipse was visible 315 miles ( 507 kilometers ) above Les Escoumins .

The timing of this eclipse coincided with solar maximum — the peak of the sun's 11-year activity cycle.

Even with perfect conditions, capturing the corona requires precise exposure settings and equipment.

Next time it will be possible to observe a partially eclipsed sunrise will be on Sept. 21, 2025 .

Seaton was the lead author of a paper describing observations of the corona in polarized light during the annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023 .

The capturing of the solar corona during a partial eclipse is a reminder that there are still discoveries to be made.
