Abstract
Given the grandeur of a total solar eclipse, it is likely that prehistoric humans marveled at the Sun's corona. Artificially rejecting light from the solar disk to see the million times fainter corona is a significant challenge, so it is not surprising that efforts to reproduce an eclipse were not successful until relatively recently.
