...surround the sun showed a new wavelength which scientists had never known before. The visible spectrum ranges from 8,000 to 4,000 angstrom units.* Dr. Mitchell's wavelength was 6,770 angstrom units. The camera recorded what the astronomer's eyes had missed-disturbances in the corona on the east and west edges of the sun, caused probably by violent motions in the inner corona. Evidences of these upheavals were seen shooting out 100,000 mi. beyond the surface of the sun. Photographs showed coronal streamers with unusual strawberry-colored domes. From careful time computations, astronomers discovered...

It is without any doubt too faint to be discerned even from the moon...
