Just an FYI for anyone interested: The ship that's been in the news due to a deadly onboard outbreak of hantavirus, the MV Hondius, is one of the expedition ships scheduled to sail to Greenland for the total solar eclipse this August.
Interesting. New analysis shows that during the 2024 total solar eclipse, seismic data for cities along the path of totality shows a noticeable drop in vibrations as human activity came to a complete standstill.
Here's what totality looks like from the far side of the Moon. Even with the relatively huge apparent size of the Moon, the Sun's corona still extends far enough out to be seen around the edge of the lunar limb. Totality lasted for 54 minutes. Amazing!
If you think there aren't enough total solar eclipses on Earth, just become an astronaut. The crew of Artemis II will see a total solar eclipse as they fly around the dark side of the Moon today at about 8:35pm ET. Totality will last for about an hour!
ECLIPSE ALERT: A total lunar eclipse will occur early tomorrow morning in all or parts of North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.
Keep seeing posts saying that Tuesday's total lunar eclipse will reach max eclipse on 3/3 at exactly 3:33am. So that must mean something. Yeah, but only if you live in the Pacific Time Zone. Otherwise, it happens at 4:33am, 5:33am, 6:33am... Time zones are just human inventions.
Apparently the new thing to do here is to write "Show more" at the end of your post so people click and you get credit for an interaction. The level of duplicity on this platform is staggering. So, if the "Show more" isn't a blue link, don't click and help these frauds.
