While we enjoyed the eclipse, I set up the phone to see what it would capture. It did not capture the beauty of the eclipse but it did record our reaction. At the beginning of the clip you will hear us talking about it being gone. Mt. Jefferson was about 20 miles away and we were watching it because the shadow was coming from there. The mountain dissapeared into the darkness. We watched the shadow move towards us at about 1000 mph, but before the shadow reached us the sky behind the mountain had already started to brighten because the eclipse had already finished behind the mountain. It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen. A completely black mountain being silhouetted by glowing orange clouds. That is until the shadow reached us. Words could never do it justice and today as I look at all the pictures online, I realize that they cannot come close to actually seeing it. The moon was as black as black could be surrounded by the brightest and whitest of whites. The stars and planets were out, the temperature had dropped and there was a sunset going 360 degress along the horizon. I will go out of my way to see another one and I would put a total solar eclipse on your bucket list. The plane that you see in the video was the NASA Solar Tracking flight.

Working on a retelling of the Solar engine so that it runs in real-time from microphone input. The original version existed only as renders because I was asking the computer to perform highly processor intensive particle repulsion. Given a mass of particles (10,000+), each particle had to exert a force on every other particle.
The original render ran at less than one frame per second. This version, still visually dense and reactive, runs at near 30fps on my laptop. Once the port to Cinder (with some optimization magic courtesy of Andrew Bell) is complete, we expect it to hit the coveted 60fps mark.
Still working on the visuals and behavior. Next up, variable size spheres and pushing more of the workload to the GPU.

Down by the coast they've set up a solar power station (or at least a whole load of solar panels) and this is the show-piece
During this solar eclipse I was 2 km east of the radio telescope of Parkes in Australia, planning to take photos of the eclipsed setting Sun with the 64 metre dish. A very rare opportunity. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and I missed the sunset, but I was able to take some photos of the eclipse about half an hour before sunset, when the Sun emerged from the clouds for some minutes.
400mm f/64 lens, exposure 1/8000 at 100 ISO.
Composite of two images - the telescope and the sun. Sun was photographed through the eyepiece, and then added to the final image to give the impression of looking through the scope.

I cheated a bit on this one as I had seen this image first..

which is better than mine anyway :P

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

Composite images of the May 20, 2012 solar eclipse taken in Los Osos, CA. Images were taken every 20 minutes from 5:15 pm until 7:55 pm. with the maximum eclipse around 6:35 pm with 79.4% obscuration. Taken with a Singh-Ray Variable Neutral Density filter set at its maximum with ISO 100, shutter 1/4000 and f8.0. Focal length 200 mm on an APS-C sensor (Canon 7D).

2010/107 - 04/17 at 21 :05 UTC. Open-cell and closed-cell clouds off Peru, Pacific Ocean
Resembling a frosted window on a cold winter's day, this lacy pattern of marine clouds was captured off the coast of Peru in the Pacific Ocean by the MODIS on the Aqua satellite on April 19, 2010. The image reveals both open- and closed-cell cumulus cloud patterns. These cells, or parcels of air, often occur in roughly hexagonal arrays in a layer of fluid (the atmosphere often behaves like a fluid) that begins to "boil," or convect, due to heating at the base or cooling at the top of the layer.
In "closed" cells warm air is rising in the center, and sinking around the edges, so clouds appear in cell centers, but evaporate around cell edges. This produces cloud formations like those that dominate the lower left. The reverse flow can also occur: air can sink in the center of the cell and rise at the edge. This process is called "open cell" convection, and clouds form at cell edges around open centers, which creates a lacy, hollow-looking pattern like the clouds in the upper right.
Closed and open cell convection represent two stable atmospheric configurations — two sides of the convection coin. But what determines which path the "boiling" atmosphere will take? Apparently the process is highly chaotic, and there appears to be no way to predict whether convection will result in open or closed cells. Indeed, the atmosphere may sometimes flip between one mode and another in no predictable pattern.
