Partial solar eclipse increasing with now 15% of Sun obscured. Group of sunspots just visible in centre of Sun level with base of Moon. Taken from Loanhead, Scotland.
Eclipse of the moon seem from Aracaju, Brasil. Some minutes after this shot the wheather has changed and the clouds eclipsed the eclipse... buáaaa
Con el último mordisco, a punto de acabar el eclipse.
My friend and work colleague brought a box of Moon Pies into work today, 21 August 2017, the day of the total eclipse of the Sun. At first I thought that he brought them in because of the day, because it is Earth's moon that blocks the Sun's rays for the effect. Nope, total coincidence.
When all of the Moon Pies were taken, I saved the box in order to make this simple pinhole eclipse viewer! The black rectangle is the viewing port. The pinhole is in that small piece of aluminum foil in the middle of the bite on the product illustration. Not perfect but it worked well enough.
It was a difficult task going to sleep at just after 7 pm last night in order to wake up at 2 am this morning.
I stopped to get a warm coffee and we headed out of town to get a good view of the moon and the total lunar eclipse.
I managed to get about 10 frames in before the entire sky was engulfed in cloud cover.
Quite frustrating it is but we tried to make the best out of it and took some photos of each other to pass the time.
Now that I am home, I had the chance to work on them right away and post them before heading into work for the day.
Until next time Blood Moon.
This was taken during the eclipse on Sunday just a few minutes past its maximum here in southern Arizona. All the "spots of sunlight" filtering through the leaves of the trees resulted in hundreds of eclipse images (a crescent sun mostly blocked out by the moon). I have never seen this effect before and might not have even noticed it had I not just read something about it a day earlier. What is happening is that the small gaps between leaves are acting like pinhole lenses that focus the sun's image on surfaces in the sunlight's path. This happens all the time, of course, but is only something we notice as special when the apparent shape of the sun is not round.

Her exterior and interior were designed by Terence Disdale Design and her naval architect was Francis Design. The yacht was delivered to Russian businessman, Roman Abramovich on 9 December 2010. At 162.5 metres (533 ft 2 in) long, Eclipse is the world's second largest private yacht, 17.3 metres (56 ft 9 in) shorter than Azzam, which was launched in April 2013. The yacht's cost has been estimated at €340 million.

Eclipse Solar. Fenomeno que só se repetirá daqui a 40 anos.
I found this which reads "Eclipse of the Sun. October 19, 1865. Photograph by (cant read) Eureka, IL. Google verifies that eclipse that day. It also features on a 2 cent stamp, which was a Union Civil War revenue stamp enacted to generate revenue for the war effort. I've enhanced the image and darkened the writing to be able to read it on the image, it's pristine in it's original state, but darker.
Remember that lunar eclipse? This is what was happening opposite right towards the end when the moon was hiding behind the clouds as it was almost on the horizon.
Be sure to view this one large or zoom in, the land out this side of the lookout had a light covering of fog which looked amazing in the morning light!

BY JOHN UPDIKE
The shadows have their seasons, too.
The feathery web the budding maples
cast down upon the sullen lawn
bears but a faint relation to
high summer's umbrageous weight
and tunnellike continuum—
black leached from green, deep pools
wherein a globe of gnats revolves
as airy as an astrolabe.
The thinning shade of autumn is
an inherited Oriental,
red worn to pink, nap worn to thread.
Shadows on snow look blue. The skier,
exultant at the summit, sees his poles
elongate toward the valley: thus
each blade of grass projects another
opposite the sun, and in marshes
the mesh is infinite,
as the winged eclipse an eagle in flight
drags across the desert floor
is infinitesimal.
And shadows on water!—
the beech bough bent to the speckled lake
where silt motes flicker gold,
or the steel dock underslung
with a submarine that trembles,
its ladder stiffened by air.
And loveliest, because least looked-for,
gray on gray, the stripes
the pearl-white winter sun
hung low beneath the leafless wood
draws out from trunk to trunk across the road
like a stairway that does not rise.

Todays (20 Mar 15) Eclipse as seen from my garden. The best shots were just after the eclipse passed its peak and the clouds came in and acted as a natural filter!

Pictures of the lunar eclipse, Feb. 20th. This is not one frame with multiple exposures (I didn’t have tripod with me.) All 8 were taken separately and placed together in Photoshop. [8:38, 9:31, 9:46, 9:55, 10:14, 10:23, 10:40, 11:06] The last exposure is 1 stop over the rest.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The most recent total lunar eclipse occurred on December 21, 2010
Sorry everyone to post and run, I know I haven't been around much, but I'll catch up soon. I just had my final class this evening, and not been sleeping much...I photographed the lunar eclipse and now it's 5am and I have to get up for work in an hour so I need to desperately take a nap. LOL! Back soon. Hope everyone is doing well!
P.S. this is the first time I've ever taken photos like this. I used my 200mm lens, I had nothing longer.
Eclipse glasses are sold at a variety of stores, both in person and online, but it's important to check for one key feature: your glasses should be marked with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 12312-2 code. That code specifies the properties that a solar viewer should have to protect your eyes.
