This was my participation on the past Ldoll custom contest about the Solar System. I doesn't won, but I'm very happy to be one of the ten finalists ^^
ESA’s new Sun exploring spacecraft Solar Orbiter launched atop the US Atlas V 411 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 04:03 GMT (05:03 CET) on 10 February 2020. An ESA-led mission with strong NASA participation, Solar Orbiter will look at some of the never-before-seen regions of the Sun, such as the poles, and attempt to shed more light on the origins of solar wind, which can knock out power grids on the ground and disrupt operations of satellites orbiting the Earth. The spacecraft will take advantage of the gravitational pull of Venus to adjust its orbit to obtain unprecedented views of the solar surface.

As I mentioned before there is a lot of rubbish getting washed up on Dubai’s beaches and yesterday evening I found yet again an unusual item lying in the sand. This time it was a long, thin light bulb that looked like it was out at sea for a long time. Solar power? Not quite, but the sun sure looks nice through the glass…

Here in California the hummers re-energize by capturing the solar power directly to the wings.......

This morning's partial solar eclipse photographed from my back garden in Carmarthen, Wales (when clouds got out the way!)
Ha, inverted, false coloured closeup of the Solar disc showing a prominence.
This was captured on 23rd April, 2020 from my backyard in the UK.
Equipment used :
Sky-watcher 120mm Evostar Achro
Daystar Quark Chromosphere Ha Eyepiece
Point Grey Blackfly mono CMOS
A solar eclipse is one of nature's grandest spectacles. It occurs when the Moon blocks any part of the Sun. On Monday, August 21, 2017, a solar eclipse was visible across all of North America. The whole continent experienced a partial eclipse lasting two to three hours. Halfway through the event, anyone within a roughly 70 mile-wide path from Oregon to South Carolina experienced a brief total eclipse, when the Moon completely blocked the Sun's bright face for up to 2 minutes and forty seconds, turning day into night and making visible the otherwide hidden solar corona....the Sun's outer atmosphere....one of nature's most awesome sights.
This shot of a partial eclipse was taken outside of the 70 mile-wide "path of totality". Though, in this area of northern California, the maximum coverage was 75%.....at the time this photo was taken, the moon had covered only around 25%.
Sun rises over the seas with a partial solar eclipse at Avalon Beach on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
This radio lives in the window so that it will be charged when the power goes out and we need it. (We can re-charge it with a hand crank if needed, but solar power is easier!)
Our Daily Challenge: ON THE WINDOWSILL
Three of us from the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology at UC Davis traveled to, and camped in, the Big Hole Mountains in Eastern Idaho (not far from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to view the eclipse. Here is a classic eclipse photo, which really does not capture what the real event looks like. The sky is not black, but instead a dark silver glow around the eclipse event and a dark blue-violet sky.
It took 10 years to create this image of our changing Sun. Taken from space by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), it shows a dramatically different picture than the one we receive on Earth.
From Earth’s surface, we are treated to a biased view. Every day our world is bathed in the Sun’s light and heat, and at these visible and infrared wavelengths our luminary shines to within a fraction of a percent of the same energy every day.
At ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths, this is not true. Launched in 1995, SOHO has been continuously monitoring the Sun since then, in part to study this variation. Back in 2006, one image for each year of the mission until then was chosen and displayed in this montage.
The bright parts of these images correspond to gas in the Sun’s atmosphere at a temperature of about 2 million degrees Celsius.
Unlike visible light, the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun varies greatly. This variation becomes more pronounced the shorter the wavelength, especially in the X-ray region of the spectrum. This is governed by solar activity, which runs in an approximately 11-year cycle. It is linked to the generation of the Sun’s magnetic field although our precise understanding of this mechanism remains elusive.
The waxing and waning of cycle-23, counted since 1755 when systematic record-taking began, can be seen clearly in this image. At its peak in 2001, the Sun was a maelstrom of activity, releasing about 10 times more ultraviolet light than at the minimum periods that can be seen in 1996 and 2006.
Now in cycle-24, the Sun is again at a peak of activity, although it is milder than that of 2001.

on termine cette série printanière orchidée avec une photo de l'Orphrys lutea . Elle est vraiment superbe cette fleur :)

we end this spring orchid series with a photo of the Orphrys lutea. She is really beautiful this flower :)
85% Solar Eclipse viewed from Abingdon, UK on Friday 20th March 2015.
This was photographed with my 10" Dobsonian telescope and a Pentax K5 IIs.
Tried my best to capture the solar eclipse without a solar filter and battling the clouds.
Taken in Liverpool, England, U.K.
People around the world, standing across a great swath of the Earth's surface saw the Moon take a snap of the Sun during the first partial solar eclipse of 2011.
HISTORY OF THE SOLAR ECLIPSES:
Height 235mm. Copper wire (30swg 0.315mm), 16x BPW-34 Siemens Osram 1/8"² solar cells, Philips 74HC240N octal buffer IC, electrolytic capacitors (gold 3.3F 2.5V, aluminium 1000µF 6.3V), ceramic capacitors, resistors, low voltage schottky diode, orange LED. Collects and stores solar energy during the day, emits controlled pulses of light at night. Pulse frequency: 0.2Hz
Grid-Tie Solar System.
Project: 3 Trees
Location: Eagle Rock, California
Description: Addition and remodel to a residence. The house was built around three trees. The project includes: grey water recycling, storm water capture, recycled coal fly ash concrete, solar energy, recycled lumber, passive cooling, thermal rock wall, and mobile shade panels.

We only had about 90% totality here. The skies turned just a little dull. Amazing how bright the sun still is with only 10% visible.
Solar farm outside of Vegas. These aren't solar panels, they are mirrors that direct light to the top of that tower which produces steam to turn a turbine
