With this weekend's solar storm, we had a chance to see the Northern Lights from Northern California. I drove over to Tahoe, to get away from light pollution.
There was quite a group of photographers there. It was great to chat and share tips. It seems that tonight the lights weren't quite as exciting a Friday night. Still it was pretty amazing to me, I'm so glad I went.

Here's the whole sequence, unrotated, at about 95% of totality. Not as visually pleasing as I thought it would be. It was fun, tho!
Carnival in Brazil is a ritual that is prepared for a whole year. Following the friends of Maracatu Solar in their work, I discovered the African roots of their art, made up of music, dance and theater. And age doesn't matter!

This is a first result of my images taken during the Eclipse from Grand Teton. We had great weather there!
The view looking down… this arm looks thin but it’s capable!!! :)
La scène vue d'en haut... ce bras n'est pas épais mais il est costaud !
It was probably the most impressive experience I’ve ever had but it was not easy. I will never forget the robotic arm ride while holding equipment that is three times my weight. The slightest movement increased its inertia (thankfully Megan is the world champion robotic arm operator). Visually it was a bit like holding a fridge upside down, while holding on with my feet over a 300 km cliff face #humblebrag. Quite a few things didn’t go according to plan but I am immensely proud of the team that fought to find solutions. #dreamteam. Shane exudes professionalism at all times, the ground teams and control centre were on point, and then there were our incredible colleagues driving the robotic arm and getting us into the suits (and out again). I might still be on an adrenaline high, but I don’t think you can find a better team. We are going to try to get some rest and consider the follow-up operations.
C’était à la fois une expérience magique et un vrai combat ; je ne suis pas prêt d’oublier ce petit tour au bout du bras robotique en tenant un équipement qui fait 3 fois mon poids, le moindre mouvement lui faisant prendre de l’inertie. Heureusement que Megan est championne du monde de conduite de bras robotique ! Visuellement c’était un peu comme tenir un frigo, accroché par les pieds, la tête à l’envers sur une paroi abrupte de quelques kilomètres #humblebrag. Pas mal de choses ne se sont pas passées comme prévu mais je suis super fier de l’équipe qui s’est battue pour trouver des solutions #dreamteam. Shane 👨🚀 égal à lui-même de flegme et de professionnalisme, l’équipe 💻 au centre de contrôle au top, les collègues au bras robotique ou qui nous ont mis dans les scaphandres (et nous en ont sortis)... Je suis peut-être encore sous le coup de l’adrénaline, mais je pense qu’on ne peut pas trouver mieux (ou alors il va falloir me le prouver 😁). On va essayer de prendre un peu de repos en attendant la suite des opérations 😴

This stunning 10m stainless steel piece of artwork is now situated in Hulls Queens Gardens in the City centre, The Solar Gate artwork is etched with key dates in Hull's history which will be highlighted in turn by the movement of the sun.,It has been nicknamed the Cheese grater by local people.
Picture of today's Solar Eclipse.
Image was taken around noon (12:20h) with a Canon EOS 200D, Sky-watcher Skymax 102, Astrozap Baader Solar Filter, and this on a Star Adventurer Pro.
It's a single exposure (1/160s; f/12.74; 1300mm; ISO-100) that I have sharpened in Registax 6 (Wavelets) and then edited in Photoshop 2021 (orange hue)
Besides the obvious moon, there was also some activity visible on the surface of the sun. :)
...best viewed in the large size.
Good morning. Just a single posting today of an orange Gerbera daisy, which when processing reminded me of solar flares. And in advance I need to apologize for not being able to respond to comments as I usually do as a result of an appointment this morning. Please bear with me on that as everyone's comments and remarks are truly appreciated and I hate not being able to thank you personally until later in the day.
Take care...and I hope you have a great Tuesday.

Ravioli A Beans truly “reaching for the stars” today on the back of the couch. I love being warm so much. I couldn’t possibly relate more to my sweet cats. Just charging our batteries in the sun.

Goal 7 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals is: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. There are great parallels to be made with the International Space Station. All our energy is completely carbon free as it comes from these beautiful, large, solar panels. They have been providing all the electricity we need up here for 20 years, but we have a great advantage: no clouds, so they get the full effect of our Sun. However half of our 90-minute orbit around is in the shadow of Earth, so batteries take over for 45 minutes to keep the electricity flowing, and they are recharged when we fly back into sunlight. As energy up here is a limited resource, a list exists where each facility is placed in order of priority. Representatives from the five space agencies that run the International Space Station work together to make the list so if ever power dips the top-priority facilities continue to run. I hear that the discussions around this can be quite lively as nobody wants their facility turned off, but for over 20 years researchers and mission designers have worked it out together and energy is continued to be produced and distributed. Like many things on the Space Station this is a nice example of what needs to be done on Earth, but obviously on a much larger scale and nobody is saying it is easy. Meanwhile after 20 years of service, the solar panels are getting ready for an upgrade with spacewalks planned to install new ones in the Summer. We need to safeguard our future energy to make it sustainable and continuous, just like on Earth.
Le 7e des Objectifs de développement durable de l'ONU : assurer l'accès pour tous à une énergie abordable, fiable, et durable. On peut faire plusieurs parallèles avec la Station spatiale internationale. Notre énergie est décarbonée car solaire: on voit assez nos immenses panneaux J. Ils fournissent toute l'électricité nécessaire ici depuis 20 ans, mais nous avons un gros avantage : l'absence de nuages :sunglass: Ils profitent pleinement du soleil, même si, à cause de sa trajectoire autour de la Terre, la Station spatiale passe constamment de l’ombre (côté non éclairé de la terre) à la lumière (côté éclairé).. d’où harge et décharge de grandes batteries extérieures. L'énergie étant une ressource limitée ici, les 5 agences spatiales qui gèrent la Station travaillent ensemble pour la gérer. En cas de problème électrique, il faut des priorités claires. En tout cas pendant plus de 20 ans, les chercheurs et les ingénieurs ont trouvé des solutions ensemble et l'énergie continue d'être produite et distribuée. Comme souvent sur l’ISS, c’est un bel exemple de ce qui doit être fait sur Terre, à plus grande echelle – c’est évidement beaucoup lpus difficile. Après des années de bons et loyaux services, les panneaux solaires donnent des signes de fatigue et des sorties extravéhiculaires sont prévues pour en installer de nouveaux au mois de juin. Ici aussi, on se creuse la tête pour render notre énergie plus durable.

Lucky enough to capture the Dimond Ring effect and some tiny prominences of the solar eclipse while at work this afternoon.
Thanks for View, Fave and Comment!
Realizing that the world is inundated with eclipse images, I will only post 1 more. This has a little more interest.
Almost as amazing as the spectacle itself is the related scientific data. A few facts:
The earth has a circumference of 40,075 kilometers. The circumference of the moon is about the quarter size of earth, coming in at 10,921 kilometers, while the circumference of the sun is a staggering 4.37 MILLION kilometers!!!
In the above image, solar flares can be seen. Amazingly, these flares can reach out into space 15 billion kilometers!
Who says there is no God?

Porsche 917K #917-022
This car was bought new in 1970 by Solar Productions (Steve McQueen's production company) in order to be driven by McQueen in some scenes of the movie "Le Mans" in the iconic Gulf colors and #20 number, just as the Jo Siffert / Brian Redman car.
After the film it was raced for a short period of time before being owned by Brian Redman, Richard Attwood. It is now part of the Jerry Seinfeld collection.

After a lot of driving despairing at the weather, I eventually returned to Dunnottar Castle to find the clouds making the perfect backdrop for the eclipse after all - even more dramatic than I'd hoped for.
solar eclipse behind the town hall and war memorial in Hanley, Stoke on Trent. I only had five minutes break from work and attached a pair of sunglasses to my camera to take these shots!
An annular solar eclipse occurred on September 1, 2016, and annularity has been observed by me, sitting on the beach, in Madagascar.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring).
This is a composite image of all the seperate images I took during the recent solar eclipse on March 20th 2015. These were taken from The Lough in Cork. I opened all the images in photoshop and aligned them in a sequence so you could see how it progressed. Originally I did this with more "under-exposed" images that just showed the eclipse, but when I imported these shots that were a little "over-exposed" I thought the detail in the clouds that came with them looked really cool so I left it in. This was not faked in any way.The only use of photoshop was to align the exposures in the sequence you see.
