Partial solar eclipses are relatively common compared to total eclipses. They occur about 2 to 5 times per year somewhere on Earth. A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but only partially obscures the Sun.

Solar Sailer from TRON: Legacy.

 

TRON: Legacy is visually one of my favorite movies, and I've always thought it would be cool to build the Solar Sailer. SHIPtember provided the perfect opportunity! Unlike last year, when I didn't make a single BrickLink order, this year I had to order most of the pieces to build this. It was definitely a Seriously Huge Investment in Parts! Keeping with tradition, this SHIP, like both my previous SHIPs, is exactly 100 studs long (not counting the data beam).

 

SWOOSH!

 

Also a big shout-out goes to my man Pascal for doing the awesome edit.

Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park at sunrise. Just one of many iconic locations shot on western road trip with Kevin Benedict. Mesa was one of my favorites, and it's as close to a sure-fire bet that you will get an interesting shot as you will find outdoors. There were not too many people there that morning, which meant everyone had time to move around and try different angles. The nice thing about Mesa is that you have a pretty good time window for composing sunrise shots. Note that the sunburst here is above the horizon, with the sun coming through the underside of the arch. The best reflected light on the underside of the arch comes a bit after sunrise.The temperature was perfect in the early morning making for a nice relaxing time to set up and concentrate on executing the shot.

 

Taken with my trusty Pentax 12-24mm, which has a simple starburst pattern but which can shoot in to direct sun pretty reliably. I also had my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which has a beautiful starburst pattern, but it doesn't shoot in to the sun very well and the results were pretty messy.

On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.

Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html

The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

Student parking at Michigan State University at night. MSU has installed solar panels in 5 parking lots to create the largest solar installation in the State of Michigan (peak power 10.5 MW). Half moon is in the sky between the arrays.

So the hotel I was staying at was on a point, a headland and its wall and glass partition provided a great backdrop for the vivid sunset. This was the shot I was most happy with, from the deeply flawed but beautiful R-D1 and Hologon, replete with purple lens flare angel (over the car) and assortment of aberrations, hence Solar flare.... and entirely un-cropped (all 6.1mp of it!) thanks to the Voigtlander spirit level and 25mm VF

 

Every parking structure at ASU has solar power panels, which also provide cars shade.

7 mile bike ride to the marsh and i arrived just after sunrise but the light was crap. Not a wasted journey though, great place to fly the drone! About an hour after sunrise the sun started to rise behind the low clouds and you could see a halo starting to appear.

The sun burst in through the windshield.

Blinding in its beauty as it danced across the dashboard.

Brilliant colors and streaks throughout the vehicle as it played leap frog with the dust and dirt on the glass.

So much beauty in a simple drive through town.

Things we miss as we stop looking around.

Slowing down enjoying the moment.

No longer worried about where ones going

or when to get there.

Beautiful.

In Augsburg-Inningen

 

Inningen was an agriculture-based community until the 2nd World War. After the war, the village developed into a preferred residential area near the city of Augsburg, which eventually annexed it in 1972.

  

in a world in need of peace...filled with fighting for natural resources...then Humanity as a family realizes the many natural resources of greatest abundance...but also protects our Earth...and the life of future generations to be born...

A prime parking lot on ASU campus, next to the sports stadiums, and now providing shade for tailgate parties. ASU meets about 35% of its electricity needs with solar panels on campus.

Gedeeltelijke zonsverduistering van 25 oktober 2022 boven Simrishamn in Skåne (Zweden). De foto is genomen rond het maximum waarbij de zon voor 38% afgedekt was door de maan. De magnitude bedroeg 0,49. In Amsterdam, waar ik woon, waren deze cijfers 22% en 0,33, een schijnbaar groot verschil maar door de enorme kracht van de zon maakt dat niet of nauwelijks verschil voor de hoeveelheid licht en voor de duur van de verduistering.

Partial solar eclipse of 25 October 2022 over Simrishamn in Skåne, Sweden. The photo was taken around its maximum where the sun was 38% covered by the moon. Its magnitude was 0.49. In Amsterdam, where I live, these figures were 22% and 0.33, a seemingly large difference but due to the enormous power of the sun, this makes little or no difference for the amount of light and the during the duration of the eclipse.

solar eclipse on 9/3/2016

I posted this image before, but was inspired to redo it when I came up with the clever title. :)

Once again, I used the new Nik software (as well as CS6), and am really quite pleased with the results.

A few clouds dance across the partial solar eclipse as seen from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

 

I used a 400mm/f2.8 lens with a 2x tele extender on a Nikon 7100 DX crop body for a 1200mm effective focal length. I had to keep readjusting as the sun would quickly move out of my frame with that much "power".

 

I am sure there are lots of solar eclipse photos being shared so I thought I join in. I'm looking forward to seeing totality in 2024 in Erie, Pa.

As a solar observer it is good to see activity increasing as “solar cycle 25” moves forward into its approximate 11-year term. You are looking at a close-up image taken with a Hydrogen-alpha (Hα) telescope.

A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, called the corona. A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and stable prominences may persist in the corona for several months, looping hundreds of thousands of miles into space. Scientists are still researching how and why prominences are formed. Source: NASA
