This photo is an HDR stack; many separate images taken at different exposure levels over multiple seconds. This picture was 35 individual images. It's also not a shot from this eclipse, nor is it from NASA. It's from 2017 and an independent photographer.
Photographing an eclipse accurately is no easy task, though capturing all the dynamic range is theoretically possible. Displaying it however, is damn near impossible.

That whole don't look at it without protection thing is for every moment other than totality.
