On the rare occurrences of total solar eclipses, about 350 years apart at a given terrestrial location and 18 months apart in the world, people in the zone of totality are dazzled and impressed by the spectacular phenomena that become visible in the midst of atmospheric darkening. I describe a selection of scientific results about the solar chromosphere corona that are obtained at eclipses, from the historic discovery of helium to present-day investigations of how the corona gets to be 2,000,000 K. I also describe how the attention to the eclipse, to astronomy, and to science in general that often accompanies eclipse day in not only the zone of totality but also to thousands of kilometers to either side, can lead to teaching opportunities not only for students participating in the scientific observing but also to all students and the general public.
