Top: white light eclipse image of 2010 July 11 taken from Tatakoto Atoll in French Polynesia, by Miloslav Druckmüller, Martin Dietzel, Shadia Habbal, and Vojtech Rušin. This image was produced from 61 images taken with a Canon EOS 5D digital camera and an 8/1624 mm Ritchey–Chrétien telescope. Details within the white rectangles labeled A and B are shown below. Arrows 1 and 6 point to concentric loops, 2 to screw-type helical structures, 3 to a mushroom-shaped plume, and 4 and 5 to vortex rings. Box C outlines the presence of a helical twisted structure at the boundary of the south polar coronal hole.
