Amazing Eclipse Time Lapse Shows the Sun Like You've Never Seen It [VIDEO]

You've probably been overwhelmed by enough Instagram shots of this weekend's annular solar eclipse to think you've seen it from every angle and through every filter. But you haven't seen anything like the video above.

Photographer Cory Poole made the one-minute video by combining 700 still images through a Coronado Solar Max 60 Double Stack telescope, according to his YouTube post. The telescope "has a very narrow bandpass allowing you to see the chromosphere and not the much brighter photosphere below it," Poole writes. Add in the dramatic, spacey soundtrack, and the video becomes even more of a winner.
