Jon Carmichael's "108" is probably my favorite #eclipse image and provokes introspection every time I see it.
Yesterday’s annular eclipse as viewed from a city park on the outskirts of Hondo, #Texas. There was a broad layer of high clouds when we arrived but luckily they broke up & blew away just in time for the main event. Had to get up in the wee hours and drive 225 miles (362 km) west to get right in the center of the path but it was well worth it.
#ThePHPFoundation, alongside leading open source organizations including the #Apache SoftwareFoundation, #Blender Foundation, #OpenSSL Software Foundation, #Python Software Foundation, #Rust Foundation, and #Eclipse Foundation, announced today a collaborative initiative aimed at establishing common cybersecurity standards in alignment with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA):

The solar eclipse is a special time in the history of Indigenous nations. Founded in August 31, 1142, the history of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois) speaks of their founding under a full solar eclipse. Western scholars only verified it in the 1990s. As such, the Haudenosaunee are one of the world's longest lasting democracies
Here in Indianapolis, we had a totality around 3pm EST. The bird chatter was deafening all afternoon around the feeders, but once totality hit, it was dead silent (not one peep) until the sun came back. And the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. #eclipse#TotalSolarEclipse#HoosierMast
Every time there's a #SolarEclipse, this computer-generated image by artist A4size-ska does the rounds on social media. Even though the artist clearly discloses it for what it is, a digital composite, many people share it as a genuine photograph of an #eclipse seen from #space
