What we see in that photo is called an "annular solar eclipse" which is different than what we experienced today. The moon in your photo which is only partially blocking the sun despite it covering the center of the sun, is further away from the earth in it's lunar orbit than it is during a full solar eclipse when it's closer to earth. This is evidenced by the visible ring from the sun in your photo which is not otherwise visible during a full solar eclipse like we had today.
@DrWatson The sun's corona is actually the [c=7700B2]magenta-colored[/c] purplish-pink flames that burn around the periphery of the sun that are not normally visible to the naked eye.
The sun's corona is only visible during a solar eclipse, not an annular eclipse.
Both eclipse types are caused by the moon getting between the earth and the sun, but on a solar eclipse, the moon is closer to the earth which is why the moon totally obscures the face of the sun, compared to an annular eclipse which is further away from the earth and which leaves the outer band of the sun visible but too bright to see the corona burning.
