What does the corona look like?

A pearly white halo of plasma streaming asymmetrically from behind the moon's disc, structured by the sun's magnetic field. It is only visible during totality, when the photosphere is completely covered.

Why does the light during totality look so odd?

It drops several stops in seconds, loses color saturation and comes from a 360-degree horizon glow rather than a single source. Reproducing that dim, cool, shadowless quality is what makes an eclipse composite believable.
