National Eclipse

@BarssFreddie Apparently the Moon also increased its size tenfold during the eclipse...

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.

Here's a worldwide viewing map for Tuesday's total lunar eclipse. All or some of totality is visible in practically all of the U.S., but vieiwng times are not very convenient anywhere.

@otokyo__ Not that one specifically.

Have you used this phone?

@BDLinCLE @miles_commodore But you're following us.

@NationalEclipse @miles_commodore

I don't understand people who are following 30 people, but have like 9,000 followers. Why not follow back?

@TimBuckleyWX A hyped-up astronomy post? Unheard of!

You may have seen some social media headlines about a parade of planets this weekend. It's unlikely you'll be able to see all of them. The easiest to see is Jupiter to the left of the moon in the southern sky. Saturn, Venus, and Mercury are hard to see because of sunset.

Next week. For 58 minutes.

@RobinEdgar @Rickoza @MyEclipseExp @SolEclipseInfo @NASASolarSystem @eclipse_timer @ROCSolarEclipse @RoyalAstroSoc @rasc @NASASun @SocHistAstro Yeah.

@Rickoza @NationalEclipse There's no such thing as "91% totality". A 99% #PartialSolarEclipse is a 0% #TotalSolarEclipse. #SolarEclipse #SolarEclipses #TotalSolarEclipses #Totality #PartialSolarEclipses #AnnularEclipse #Astronomy #SolarSystem #Eclipse2026 #2026eclipse #SolarEclipse2026 #Eclipsology

Now that yesterday's annular solar eclipse that nobody saw is over, the next solar eclipse is a big one that lots of people will see. Totality in Iceland and Spain! Who's going?

@GregTrayling @cosmos4u Well, it's over, so...

@NationalEclipse @cosmos4u Well I'm just not going then.

The only genuine image of the 2026 annular solar eclipse I've seen so far - and at an extremely short wavelength of only 17 nanometers, from the Proba 2 satellite: proba2.sidc.be/Eclipse17Febru… (which sees the solar corona in emission, so the Sun doesn't have a sharply defined edge).

@C_DeAngelis @cosmos4u We should care, but keep it in perspective. Anyone who has seen a total understands this. If somebody is going bonkers for an annular, they've probably never seen a total.

@NationalEclipse @cosmos4u I mean if it's not total should we even care???

@CburgesCliff It's all relative. Once you've seen a total, you understand that anything less is rather insignificant.

Just what we expected Big Eclipse to say 🤔

@acidiclemon2 It would still be rare for the two to be exactly the same apparent size.

@NationalEclipse Unless a requirement for life is a geologically active planet, driven by the gravitational influence of a relatively large moon.

ETs probably love our solar eclipses because it's extremely unlikely they have them at home. The chances that your sun and moon are the exact same apparent size in the sky are exceedingly small.

@JulieOlive17483 You're thinking of a lunar eclipse.

@NationalEclipse March I believe and we'll be able to see it clearly in Australia.😁

@NationalEclipse When is the next lunar eclipse? Where can I learn more?
