Eclipse Glow
Solar eclipse corona with radial noise rays, diamond ring effect, and streaming solar wind.
What is Eclipse Glow?
Eclipse Glow is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Solar eclipse corona with radial noise rays, diamond ring effect, and streaming solar wind. It is rendered on the GPU by a fragment shader, so it costs almost nothing on the CPU and works well as a full-screen background. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (eclipse-glow.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Corona Size, Ray Intensity — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
Parameters
| Parameter | Key | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corona Size | CORONA_SIZE | 0.3 – 2 | 1 |
| Ray Intensity | RAY_INTENSITY | 0.3 – 2 | 1 |
