As part of long-term plans to put an outpost and astronauts on the moon, China is getting ready to send a robotic spacecraft to the lunar surface facing away from Earth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/29/asia-pacific/china-mission-moon-hidden-side/ #asiapacific #china #moon #space

The so-called “great instability” event that sent gas giants careening through space until they settled into orbits occurred between 60 and 100 million years after the birth of the solar system. Migrating planets primarily Jupiter, it turns out, may have led to the formation of Earth’s moon. Live Science explains: https://flip.it/wWBTEy

Tuesday evening was a beautiful evening to get out and see the rise of the Full Pink Moon. I chose to go to Boston to photograph it rising next to the Boston University Center for Computing & Data Sciences. It was stunning!

Il y a 3 semaines aujourd'hui débutait notre voyage au Texas pour l'observation de l'éclipse de soleil. Je vais faire un pouet par jour et sélectionner 4 photos pour chaque jour (ça va être difficile !)

Jour 1 Vendredi 5 Avril : Paris - Houston. Nous sommes arrivés à Houston en début d'après-midi, ce qui nous a permis de faire un tour de ville, principalement avec notre bus. Le voyage était organisé, nous étions un groupe de 33 personnes, tous très sympa ! Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'intérêt particulier à la ville.

Un camion de pompier rouge dans sa place de parking dans une caserne. On l'apperçoit abrité sous le bâtiment grand ouvert.

Un gratte-ciel de forme arrondie en verre reflète le gratte-ciel qui se trouve en face qui est de forme rectangulaire. Des arbres verts composent le premier plan, le ciel est très bleu.

5 minutes avant le début de la totalité un gros nuage recouvrait encore le soleil. Mais ça s'est suffisamment découvert pour que nous puissions observer l'intégralité de la totalité, et même voir une protubérance à l'oeil nu ! (sous forme d'un point lumineux rosé). La vue de la couronne solaire est toujours un grand moment d'émotion. Un trou dans les nuages nous a permis de faire de chouettes photo à peu près au maximum de l'éclipse.
3 photos unitaires prises à différents moment de l'éclipse (Juste avant le début, pendant et juste après la fin). Cf description pour la 4ème. (2/2)

#eclipse #texas #sun #moon #solareclipse

Au moment du centre de l'éclipse, photo avec exposition courte pour mieux voir les protubérances.
Juste avant la fin de la totalité, les protubérances à droite sont très visibles. Celle en bas à droite était visible à l'oeil nu.
Photo HDR, composition de 12 photos prises à différentes expositions (de 1/1000ème de seconde à 2 secondes). La couronne est très chouette.

The sun and moon captured about 6 hours apart on April 23. The sun was super active with tons of sunspots and the moon was 100% full. I captured the moon right after it cleared the trees and the color is unedited.

Both were captured from my backyard with my QHY168C camera and EQ6-R mount. I used a homemade solar filter with Thousand Oaks film for the sun shots.

Turns out the moon is not made of cheese, though it would have been a popular appetizer at your next dinner party. A thorough investigation revealed that Earth’s satellite has an inner core with a density similar to iron, which appears to settle the longstanding debate over it being solid or molten. There’s more in this Science Alert article, including how astronomers made the discovery and why it could lead to a better understanding of the solar system. https://flip.it/0nP7A1

April’s Full Moon is called the Pink Moon, named after spring time blossoms.
