The Meteosat-12 satellite captured this space perspective of the partial solar eclipse this morning🌍🌑🌞 In a partial solar eclipse, the Moon moves between Earth and the Sun, partially blocking the sunlight. So for us on Earth, it seems like there is a shadow on the Sun but from the Sun point of view, it seems like there is a shadow on Earth. 📽️ @eumetsat Meteosat-12, processed by @simon_sat

Did you see the spiral in the sky over the UK last night? 🌌 Experts believe it is exhaust plume from a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, frozen and swirling in the atmosphere. 🚀👇
Met Office@metoffice

We've received many reports of an illuminated swirl in the sky this evening 💫 This is likely to be caused by the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched earlier today. The rocket's frozen exhaust plume appears to be spinning in the atmosphere and reflecting the sunlight, causing it to appear as a spiral in the sky 🚀 @Tobytobytobyy @SBillcliffe @albierowlett1 @ARWURZELBS3

Image of Mercury's sodium tail taken at the NAS Observatory. Stack of two over-exposed 30 second images, stacked in DSS using the comet setting. Mercury was 4 degree 28 arcminutes above the horizon when imaged and the Sun 10 degrees 32 arcminutes below the horizon.
