Io, one of its moons, is visible by the lower edge, and that black spot is its shadow.
A solar eclipse on another planet.

In 2017 a man, after some thought, had a simple but genius idea and took a camera on a Southwest flight from Portland, Oregon to St. Louise and captured one of the most breathtaking images of all time.

Jon Carmichael's "108" is probably my favorite image and provokes introspection every time I see it.

The picture of my son and the eclipse glasses in thumbnail for the video being premiered tomorrow is NOT photoshopped. I put it around the neck cushion of his car seat.

See the thumbnail today, watch the video tomorrow, practice safe solar viewing soon after!

24 years ago (11th August 1999), there was a total crossing Europe, from , , , , , , , , , , and then following towards ending over . This of the 2nd millennium was one of the most viewed eclipse of human history.

Do you remember it ? Where were you ? Did you manage to watch it ? How was it ?

@AlexSanterne Saint-Pierre en port, au-dessus de Fécamp, au bord des falaises, en compagnie de milliers de personnes tout le long de la côte. Ma première. Le soleil qui joue à cache-cache avec un cumulus qui a bon goût de s'évanouir à la dernière minute. La luminosité grisâtre, le froid soudain, et les cris des spectateurs au loin qui nous arrivent comme une vague. Le pouic rose, la couronne d'argent. Je crie, je pleure, je danse. C'était hier. J'en frissonne en écrivant ces mots...

It’s National Moth Week, July 22 -30, to celebrate the beauty, lifecycles & habitat of moths, so I’m reposting my eclipse of moths (the delightful term of venery for a group of moths).

This hand-printed lino block print shows 5 of the noctural moths of Ontario in front of the moon at a lunar eclipse:…

For #PollinationWeek, cause plants get pollinated at night too. I love how moths in French are “night butterflies” so here’s the night shift.

The delightful term for a group of moths is an eclipse. This hand-printed lino block print shows five of the noctural moths of Ontario in front of the moon at a lunar eclipse.

So apparently there is a Lunar #Eclipse coming in on May 5th (penumbral only, so not as dramatic as full ones) which is pretty cool (and I only got to know about it today!)

It's more than @mmasnick describes here. It's like suddenly you're on an entirely different planet. Seriously: A. Different. Planet. with a writhing black and violet (and yellow still, just not as much) sun in the sky, the air around you strange and electric, the world a changed thing, all at once.

Absolutely get your ass to totality. For real.

Randomly noting: if you're in the US, in April of 2024, the US will have a solar eclipse pass over a bunch of states for the first time in 7 years, and for the last time in decades.

It is an indescribably wonderful experience to be in the zone of totality. This article kinda covers it:. If you're not sure if you've seen one, you haven't. It's the most bizarre thing where it feels like someone flips a light switch and turns off the sky. https://www.space.com/37791-go-see-the-solar-eclipse-in-person.html

Right, TV news SUX covering it, just a black dot in the sky. That's not really the event. it's the people.

This was nothing short of magical and one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
The power and energy we all experienced was quite moving.
Here's Michael Archangel's video of everyone's reaction during the moment of totality.

What a spectacular momentous occasion IF YOU WERE THERE, 🤣

I'm looking forward to the moon landing attempt tomorrow of the ispace HAKUTO-R craft carrying a Tomy selfie camerabot and a 4-wheeled rover. There are great photos already from the lander, presently in lunar orbit at 100km up. This Earthrise was taken this afternoon when the moon was causing an eclipse in Australia; if you look closely you can see the dark eclipse shadow on the Earth's image. :-D

    @rooster My boy was interested enough in the eclipse that he followed NASAs instructions on how to make a simple pinhole camera to safely view it and took quite some joy from it 🔭

    Haven’t had a chance to share this on here until now … whilst lots of folks looked up to see the #SolarEclipse I was checking out the Himarawi-8 satellite, which looks down and keeps its watchful eye on this hemisphere of Earth.

    So here’s a video of what the eclipse looked like from space!
