solareclipse

Did you know the Sun’s diameter is about 400 times larger than the Moon’s... and almost exactly 400 times farther away from Earth? ☀️🌑

That incredible cosmic coincidence is what makes total solar eclipses possible, creating one of the most breathtaking sights in our solar system.

Discover the science behind this remarkable alignment in the SETI Institute's free Solar Eclipse eBook.

PRESS RELEASE
Although the path of totality for the August 12 #solareclipse is thousands of miles away from California, Bay Area audiences can experience the event in a truly unique manner: set to a live musical performance by the International Space Orchestra (ISO), the world's first orchestra composed of astronauts, scientists, engineers, and researchers.

Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.

What an amazing #SolarEclipse we witnessed this week! I photographed it from Peñafiel in the north of #Spain, home to a beautiful castle that provided the perfect foreground for the spectacular #eclipse. No picture can do it justice though: there's no substitute to actually seeing a total eclipse in person.
