How Total is a Total Solar Eclipse ??

Saul I have a feeling a small washer could show the middle of the Sun
through its hole,and its outer ring showing the corona. A washer might
show best how to view a Sun spot,or the surface's granular feature.???

Someday man will go to the Moon and view the Earth's total eclipse. He
will set off a small H-Bomb of my design at the center of this black
disk for the world to see. Bert

Then I think you should have said, total eclipse of the Sun, as seen
from the Moon.

The Earth can never be totally eclipsed by the shadow of the Moon.

Way too much light through the hole. It will wash out the corona.
