The authors present first results of observations of a lunar occultation of the solar limb made from the Kuiper Airborne Observatory in the 30, 50, 100, and 200 μm continuum during the total solar eclipse of 1981 July 31. The solar limb is found to be extended at the longer wavelengths up to 1000 km higher than predicted from smooth plane-parallel chromospheric models. Results at both second and third contact show the infrared limb extensions to be approximately 0arcsec.8, 1arcsec.5, 2arcsec.5, and 3arcsec.0 above the visible limb in the 30, 50, 100, and 200 μm bands, respectively.
