Are all those corona/solar winds line edited in ? Or just heavily processed ?

Anything without a reputable source should not be trusted.

And by "recent," does OP mean April?

Here are two real pictures of the 2017 eclipse. Here is the source. They were taken by Nicolas Lefaudeux from Unity, Oregon.

For the first image, he explains:

> The Earthshine was particularly clear on the images with longest exposure. Using the images with longest exposure (5s, 2.5s, and 1.3s), I created a dedicated image of the Earthshine. Very small details on the moon are visible, like Rima Hyginus, walls of Copernicus crater, Vallis Alpes, etc…

> Those features are generally hard to catch on usual Earthshine images with small crescent; here, the 45° elevation of the eclipse and good seeing allowed for very detailed view of the lunar surface. The pinkish color spots of color on the right hand side of the lunar limb are due to the the bright prominences that scattered around some of their colored light.

> The total exposure time used for this image is around 70 seconds, which allowed to obtain very good signal to noise ratio and to reveal all the lunar surface details....

> It comes from solar light scattered by Earth clouds, ocean and land, dimly litting the Moon surface.

For the second one, he provides the following:

> Composite 2017 Eclipse (high res here): the image is a high resolution composite of more than 70 images acquired with different exposure time. With its high resolution (< 2 arcsec details) over a large 2°x1.5° field of view, this image might be the most detailed image of a solar eclipse ever produced.
