North American #solareclipse monitoring in NE Poland????????
Yeah, however long a shot it is... but this very faint trace coming on & off, peaking literally for SECONDS around 1936z (I know the time in this waterfall plot is 4h off xD) on 1129.991 kHz can't lie...
Also w/ timeanddate.com day/night/#eclipse map for 1936z attached, w/ locations of WBBR & mine overlaid. NY was in slightly less than 75% totality at the time but a full one was right on the radio waves' take-off 😅
I have no cool pics myself, but good friends of ours went to an Ohio wildlife refuge on Lake Erie to experience totality. They were in Kentucky for the one seven years ago and they said nature was a much better place to be. The horizon let them see the “sunset.” #SolarEclipse#eclipse2024#April2024#Today
So grateful to have the clouds part in time for the eclipse, especially during totality! What an amazing phenomenon to have witnessed!! #SolarEclipse2024#SolarEclipse#HamiltonON
I had planned on doing some #solareclipse coverage today (and I did do a couple of interviews on BBC News and 5 Live), but I lost enthusiasm when - exactly as predicted - we got an email this morning announcing another round of voluntary #redundancies at work. Not unexpected, given the state of the sector and the recent cancelled promotion round, but just argh. I need a new career.
The solar eclipse is coming to an end, and it was awe-inspiring as usual! I'm happy that my marathon negotiations with Mother Nature to clear the sky were a success!
An #eclipse can be a costume opportunity, if you really want it to be one. :) (This was from 2017. I didn't dress up today.) #solareclipse#crochet#costume
Today's total solar eclipse was a phenomenal experience. More than 3 minutes of darkness at 1:30 pm and all birds stopped singing. Didn't see the eclipse itself because of clouds, but the darkness was way more spectacular than I had imagined it would be. It truly was a unique and utterly beautiful and special moment.
My only good shot from totality (after I remembered to take the filter off the lens! 🤦♂️🤣). Totality was amazing and so I was drinking it all in. Temps dropped a good 10 degrees F, mosquitoes came out, the birds stopped singing, everyone’s solar lights came on, and it was incredibly dark. Really amazing!
And then it was over and everything started returning to normal!
I spent about half an hour with a very frightened worker who I found hiding from the eclipse in a closet..
I convinced her to come with me to my room where I could show her on my computer the NASA website with an explanation about the eclipse.
After a discussion, she realized there is nothing to fear...it's safe as long as she doesn't look directly at the sun.
Now she is confident about going outside.
Be grateful for your education and share your knowledge.
The eclipse is tomorrow and I was collecting some resources¹ to email to friends about eclipse path, weather, safety/photography, etc. well it ended up being a nice list. Have a great and safe eclipse!
It was a surreal experience. Seeing the solar wind streaming off the sun is indescribable and no photo will do it justice. I've seen photos before and have been moved but nothing compared to the real deal.
It was fully worth the planning and the cloud gap chasing! Here's a low resolution jpeg straight off the camera. I'm glad I focused on the experience more than the photography.
