How does the moon keep has hair neat?

eclipse it :spin:

[Ninastar]

I’m watching from Aiken, SC if anyone wants me to take pics

I don’t remember how to add pics on here tho… it’s been a while

(Oh god, I’m ****ing old)

[arista]

It goes cold
birds stay quiet

Of course, it depends if you have a big cloud cover
Between 7PM and 8PM UK time

Expected to last 4mins

Ireland will get a bit of it.
Possible in Liverpool & Glasgow
just before 8PM
(only part eclipse)

[Maru]

We are headed up North right now to see it, but it's just a road trip day. Most of Texas is under cloud cover so it's a slim chance.

i saw an eclipse a while back, and it was completely underwhelming :laugh:

It's obviously not my thing

I was on the BBC roof back in 1999 watching our last big one

Matthew 24:29


But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND
THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the
powers of the heavens will be shaken.

I remember being 5 or so and my grandad going out to look at it with no glasses on lol

i don't think Trump thought through his eclipse video. Casting darkness across the country isn't really a good look :laugh:

[Maru]

Thank you all. I'm just glad I had anything to share. We were not expecting there to be an opening.

…:love:…those are very superb images, Maru…if I had taken those, I would frame them and display them on the wall for sure…such a lifetime experience and captured beautifully….

I will. :love: My daughter is too young to really remember this trip, but did lose her mind checking out the sun once everything blacked out. I'm thinking of framing with date/time and placing in her room. The weather was predicted to be cloud cover, but Dallas and its vicinity had a small chance of clearing based on some models, so we took to the highway and traveled while watching the radar. We stopped around the time it was beginning. We learned later we ended up on about dead center on the shadow line. It's a crazy coincidence because we were traveling on gut by that point. It was a mix of clouds through the partial and a clearing opened up during the full eclipse. Not a single bit of cloud cover in that period. Rightfully, the journey will be memorable for all of us. The traffic was tolerable also and no inclement weather though we were expected to run into a line of heavy storms otw back.

Yes great photo, i've seen some incredible shots today. We were also in the back garden for the 1999 eclipse, its brilliant we get to witness these spectacular things.

Yes and to think we (Earth) are actually rare in terms of witnessing such events. I can spend hours watching such things. There's something oddly calming about watching planets & moons traverse through a telescope.

….your daughter may not recall so many details that you would recall, because of her young age, Maru….but you’re giving her those detailed memories in how you’ve recorded it…?…she’ll know how special it was and how her parents drove on that road trip to be able to get those images and how they wanted her to be a part of the phenomenon, you know…?…so she kind of will recall it quite vividly in her memory stores, I feel…but in a different way to your recollections …and yes, frame all of those details for her room, together with your images and help her ‘complete’ her memories, which she’ll keep through adulthood and will always be a very special day with her parents…:love:…

Yes, I'd like to think we were making memories on her behalf. It gives her some kind of goalpost later in life if she chooses to relive these things in her own way later on. Unless we all decide to take a trip abroad...

Somewhat related, I took a normal shot of the sun today using the same lens filter and boosted the color some for contrast so the ball shape would be more visible. Sunspots are visible in some of the eclipse shots as well and it was interesting to note them in other people's shots online and see that they weren't necessarily in the same place at all times...

Just something random to add to the end of this thread...

It's very good, Maru.

I don't think that I would want the Sun to be anywhere near me, but it does look visually stunning.

…wherever in the world she is in her life…/wherever her paths take, I think that she’ll always hold firmly in her heart these significant times that you’ve marked in special ways …these are the times of our childhood nostalgia, aren’t they …when we didn’t have responsibilities yet…but what we had were parents who created ‘magic’ in our days…:love:…

Creepy to think that we were in that black hole. While we were under shadow, we could see a planet nearby the Sun/Moon and the largest stars, but visibility was still poor enough that only the brightest apparent objects could be seen (so larger stars, larger planets). Theoretically it could've been Mercury, but visually I'd say from experience between size and distance probably Jupiter and I don't think it was close enough to be Mercury... star chart seems to agree. Very cool experience either way. Still buzzing :love:

Next total eclipse is on August 12th 2026 in Iceland and Northern Spain.

Then one on August 2nd 2027 in Gibraltar and North Africa.
