  • Venus is visible against the setting Sun in this view from Kings Canyon National Park, California. Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is visible as a black dot on the lower right corner of the Sun. The transit was visible from at least four continents and is the last until December 2117.

    StormClouds_Sun_PacificBeach_5640.jpg
  • 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.

  • A solar pillar, also known as a sun pillar, forms before sunrise between two juniper trees on the southern rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. Solar pillars are caused by flat ice crystals in the air, which essentially act as mirrors for the sun's light.

  • 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.

  • A 22° halo forms around the sun over Snohomish County, Washington. The 22° solar halo forms when the sun shines into thin, ice-filled cirrus clouds. The hexagonal ice crystals serve as tiny prisms to create the full-circle rainbow around the sun.

  • A composite of six images shows the progression of the annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 as viewed from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun. This image sequence begins at the top left. The black marks on some of the Sun images are sunspots.

  • The annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 reaches its peak in this view from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth.

  • The rising sun shines through the thick mist generated by the force of Horseshoe Falls, one of the waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls on the border of New York and Ontario. About 90 percent of the water in the Niagara River flows over Horseshoe Falls, which amounts to about 600,000 gallons (2.3 million liters) of water per second. The waterfall is about a half-mile wide, with a brink length of 2600 feet (792 meters), and it is 167 feet (51 meters) high. Horseshoe Falls is also known as Canadian Falls, since about two-thirds of it is located in Canada. It is pictured here from the Canadian side.

    Maui_MakenaBeach_Sunset_6077.jpg
  • The sun sets behind the rim of Crater Lake in this view from the Cloud Cap Overlook in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, is visible in the lake just beneath the sun; Phantom Ship, another remnant of volcanic activity, is visible as an island on the left side of the image.

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.

    MapleSeeds_Raindrops_8449.jpg
  • The sun shines between a tree and a large rock outcropping in the Minister Valley area of the Allegheny National Forest in Warren County, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Front was once part of a vast delta and layers of a hard, sandstone congolomerate were deposited. Between 250 and 320 million years ago, the Allegheny Front was lifted, forming hills and mountains. Over time, erosion exposed, split, or dislodged and moved the former sedimentary rock, resulting in large rock outcroppings.

  • Several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) are rendered in silhouette as the sun sets behind the Pinelands of the Florida Everglades. Pine trees cannot survive if submerged for extended periods, and therefore grow only at the highest elevations in the Everglades – which are only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.

  • The sunrise lights up Eagle Falls which flows high above Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe on the border of California and Nevada. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and the sixteenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 meters).
