NASA TV video from yesterday's total solar eclipse, when the moon pass directly in front of the sun. It happened from 8:38 to 8:42 p.m. EST March 8. As the moon passed precisely between the sun and Earth – a relatively rare occurrence that happens only about once a year because of the fact that the moon and the sun do not orbit in the exact same plane – it blocked the sun’s bright face, revealing the tenuous and comparatively faint solar atmosphere, the corona.
The total eclipse was only visible in parts of Southeast Asia

The limb of the sun from Saturday March 23 2024.
Not sure yet if it's the eastern or western limb but it won't be hard to find out.
A lot of solar activity, not something you see every day. I wanted to share this one before getting around to more images.
Telescope: TS-Optics 125mm f/7.8
H-Alpha filters: Daystar Quark Chromosphere + Lunt40 etalon
Energy Rejection: Baader DERF 135mm
Camera: ZWO ASI174MM
Warning! Never aim a telescope to the sun!
Sunspot 2403 photographed on August 25, 2015 using a Canon 6D and Celestron 6" telescope. From spaceweather.com "Behemoth sunspot AR2403 started to decay yesterday, but it is still a dangerous active region. The sunspot's delta-class magnetic field harbors energy for strong solar flares."
What is Solar eclipse?
~ the word "eclipse" here means that one celestial object is hidden by another. than, what does hide the sun?
Its the moon
~When the moon is passing over the sun and its shadow is cast on earth, a solar eclipse can be observed in the shadowed area.
~In a solar eclipse, the sun gradually wanes.
The collision of solar wind and magnetospheric charged particles with the thermosphere cause Northern Lights. Especially in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. In the Arctic the Northern Lights are called Aurora borealis in the Antarctic regions Aurora australis. In northern Sweden they usually occur from end of September to end of March.

Solar Eclipse from Kingstree, SC where they had a watch party in a public recreation field.
No charge for parking, they passed out solar glasses, and had some pretty nice give-aways!
It was partly cloudy, totality lasted for 90 sec - i'd say 70 of those seconds were cloud covered, but 20 seconds were in the clear! Hot!
Shot actually taken by Stephen Schmidt - editing by myself. We started out with a solar filter on the lens, when it got to totality there was not enough remaining light to focus, so he had to twist the hood/filter combo off & shot straight.

Short session with the solar scopes yesterday afternoon. Image comprises of two 500 frame AVI's taken with a QHY5III 178M (one for the disk,second for the prominence's) through my Lunt 50 solar scope. Both AVI stacked using Autostakkert and using layers in Photoshop to combine the images,moving into Registax to wavelet process then back into PS to add false colour.

Late afternoon sun warms the tiles on the kitchen floor. Only in the winter is it at this angle and thankfully so to whomever decided to build this old house at this precise angle.
"Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve
on the beach, may your eyelids never flutter
into the empty distance. Don't LEAVE me for
a second, my dearest, because in that moment you'll
have gone so far I'll wander mazily
over all the earth, asking, will you
come back? Will you leave me here, dying?"
— Pablo Neruda
Into-the-sun sihouette time...
This was taken from a hill called the Billing in Rawdon Leeds. there was total cloud cover for the whole period of the eclipse other than a couple brief moments.

In this image, ESA’s new Solar Orbiter spacecraft is seen during preparations for a vibration test campaign at the IABG facility in Ottobrunn, Germany, in March 2019.
While the craft is at Ottobrunn, the Solar Orbiter mission control team located at ESA’s ESOC mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, is getting ready to establish data links to the satellite.
The live links, dubbed ‘system validation tests’, will see the flight team connect their mission control system to the spacecraft, as they will in future when the control systems on ground ‘talk’ to the spacecraft in orbit via radio signals transmitted by a ground station antenna.
“The prime objective of the system validation tests for any spacecraft is to validate that the mission control system can correctly send and receive telecommands to the satellite,” says ESA’s Jose-Luis Pellon-Bailon.
“The tests also confirm that the spacecraft launch configuration is as expected by the post-launch Flight Control Procedures.”
An initial series of system validation tests were run last summer, when Solar Orbiter was still at its manufacturer, Airbus Defence & Space UK, in Stevenage.
“Since then, it has moved to Ottobrunn where we will run the next series of tests in early May and early August, lasting nine days in total and running around the clock,” says Jose-Luis.
“Solar Orbiter will then move to the US for launch from Cape Canaveral, where we will run a final series of connection tests at the end of November.”
Solar Orbiter will be launched in 2020 to study how the Sun creates and controls the heliosphere, the vast bubble of charged particles blown by the solar wind into the interstellar medium.
How we make a space mission
ESA is Europe’s space agency, enabling its 22 Member States to achieve results that no individual nation can match. ESA combines space mission development with supporting labs, test and operational facilities plus in-house experts covering every aspect of space, supported through the Agency’s Basic Activities.

A neighborhood youngster photographs the solar eclipse using his tablet. The telescope / box projector worked out fairly well.
"You see Roy, you don't have to sit here all day any more - we've upgraded to a mobile, solar powered system.... Hey - Did you track where that 918er went?"
Roy's going to miss the endless hours alone in his space-shed, scanning for Quasars and directing ships to the base. How will he get time to listen to all his podcasts now?

Well that's it - the end of my first FebRovEry.
Thanks for all the fantastic inspirational buggies everyone's been doing and for the positive and encouraging feedback on mine
I know my stuff is 'virtual' but feeling like I might buy the bits to make some of my month real.
Also - look out for some tablescraps and runts that didn't make the cut over the next day or two.
I bought a cheap cardboard solar filter for my camera lens and have been tinkering to get the right camera settings. This is a stack of a few photos that were then processed to bring out the sun spots.

The solar eclipse as seen from Scunthorpe in the UK. At maximum coverage I think we had about a 90% lunar cover of the Sun. Thankfully there was a thin cloud cover to help block out some of the light so not to damage my camera with the bright glare of the sun.
Also had two NDx4 filters on the front and an NDx2 to cut back the sun even more.
The solar animation on the balloon is generated by live mathematical equations that simulate the turbulence, flares and sunspots that can be seen on the surface of the sun. This produces a constantly changing display that never repeats itself, giving viewers a glimpse of the majestic phenomena that are observable on the solar surface, and that only relatively recent advances in astronomy have discovered. The project uses the latest SOHO and SDO solar observatory imaging available from NASA, overlaid with live animations derived from NavierStokes, reaction diffusion, perlin and fractal flame equations.

Solar farms are cropping up all around North Carolina. If you have available land, companies will lease your land for a solar farm. This is one of three fields converted into solar farms situated close together.
