Overview

The space missions Yohkoh, SOHO and TRACE, together with complementary ground-based instrumentation, have provided a wealth of new results on the Sun, which are not readily available or digestible for the non-specialist. They are presented here in an organized, tutorial fashion by leading astrophysicists who gathered to observe the total eclipse of 11 August 1999 in Bucharest. Subjects covered range from the deep solar interior to the extended corona, with an emphasis on the diagnostic and on the physical interpretation of the spectacular phenomena represented by solar activity.
