National Eclipse

Only 3 months to go until the next total solar eclipse. If you won't be inside this path, well, that's too bad... NationalEclipse.com

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.

@ProsectorPath Some animals get more active.

@NationalEclipse I think all animal activity on land probably stopped as well.

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.

@EdDinIL It's a legit post. You can find the analysis online.

@NationalEclipse Assuming that's actually a serious post and not meant to troll anyone (you would NEVER do that, right?), how do we know it's not the moon blocking some previously undefined or undetected solar effect on our planet?

Did you know that the path of next year's total solar eclipse actually crosses over British soil? If you know your geography, you'll understand.

@EverythngCaden Go to Iceland or Spain this August.

@NationalEclipse I couldn't see any of it because it was too cloudy. Does anyone know how I can experience a total solar eclipse in my lifetime now? :/

Today is April 8. Depending on the weather, two years ago was either one of the greatest or worst days you've ever had.

@tophtucker It doesn't matter how wide the path is. When the Sun goes down, you can't have an eclipse anymore, so the path of totality just ends at that point.

oh!!! wow. great answer. so that flatness is kind of derived from the shadow of the flat edge of the horizon? something like that… x.com/nationaleclips…

why do these totality zones end in a sharp line instead of tapering to a point? surprising. (maps from @NationalEclipse nationaleclipse.com)

@tophtucker Sunset.

@acidiclemon2 NASA probably isn't using AI on its website.

@NationalEclipse This just looks like AI?

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!

Eclipse glasses in space!

The Sun reappears after 54 minutes of totality during the Artemis II mission around the dark side of the Moon.

@Movies_analyst Not just a "solar eclipse" but a total solar eclipse. The best kind there is.

In Barabbas (1961), the crucifixion scene captured a real solar eclipse, as director Richard Fleischer delayed production to film it on February 15, 1961, using its eerie darkness to enhance the moment. No CGI. No tricks.

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!

@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.
