NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is loaded aboard a truck after being flown to Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida, on the morning of April 3, 2018, by a C-17 from the United States Air Force’s 436th Airlift Wing. The spacecraft was taken to Astrotech Space Operations, also in Titusville, for pre-launch testing and preparations.

The solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, filtered through the clouds over my house in Southern New Jersey at 2:44 EDT which was the maximum eclipse time here.

isn't it just a question of unlocking the transformation process?
can't imagine the master key would not be available...
We had a partial solar eclipse here in New Zealand this morning! I think I was just a kid in elementary school the last time I got to experience an eclipse. It was pretty cool. The sky looked like it does when I wear my polarized sun glasses, only I wasn't wearing them!
I wasn't able to get a shot of the eclipse at its maximum point because the cloud cover was too thick, but this was taken not long after. I like how the clouds are kind of nebulous and it almost looks like an eye ...
Pretty exciting!
Oh, and in other news, I hit 200,000 views yesterday! I'm sure a good chunk of them were from web bots, but I still can't help but feel a bit chuffed anyway.
Solar arrays for a Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellite at the Dutch Space company near Leiden in the Netherlands. A pair of 5 m-long solar arrays supply 1.9 kilowatts of power – about the same as an average household’s consumption. The side of the solar array normally left in shadow is seen here.

As well as all the wind turbines we saw travelling through Austria, we also saw loads of solar panels.
Here Comes The Sun. George Harrison.
Our sun, like all other stars, generates its energy through nuclear fusion: inside it, 564 million tons of hydrogen are fused to 560 million tons of helium every second. The "missing" four million tons are radiated as energy. This is more energy per second than has been produced by our global civilization through the burning of fossil fuels since the beginning of industrialization !
Here is my contribution to the solar eclipes photos. This was taken from the top of Flatside Pinnacle in the Flatside Wilderness area of the Ouachita Mountains. Another photo adventure with husband and friends. f-stop 32 shutter speed 1/8000
The fountain has a light flow which makes it perfect for the bees to get a drink from the bowl and it doesn't stop a dirty bird from getting in there for a much needed bath.

We had some clouds at the horizon just before sunset, but not as many as for the recent total lunar eclipse, which was completely invisible due to thick cloud cover. So I got a chance to get a picture of the partial solar eclipse. This image was taken from Raven Rocks Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway using a 1000x neutral density filter in addition to the sunlight filtering through some clouds just before it disappeared behind Grandfather Mountain. Not only can you see the section of the sun covered up by the moon, but also some sunspots.
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.
