eclipses

No, that tiny disc that can be seen racing in front of the Sun on November 11th will not be an ET’s flying saucer. The innermost planet Mercury will appear to transit the disk of the Sun on 2019 NOV 11 for observers in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Near East and New Zealand. This will be the...

So how much apprehension do you folks have about the coming total eclipse and the fact that it's passing right over the yellowstone caldera right when it's becoming more active. It seems that the combo of the moon and sun gravitational effects could have a deforming effect on the liquid magma...

Today BGR published and AT&T Yahoo further distributed an article called How to watch tonight's incredibly rare lunar eclipse. There will be no lunar eclipse tonight. They only occur during Full Moons, and currently it is a waning Half Moon. The next lunar eclipse will be a penumbral event on...

Who is going to take a peak at tomorrow's solar eclipse? Best viewing north of the British isles, but northern Germany is going to get 80% coverage of the sun. I built me a camera obscura from a slender cardboard box (2m long, perhaps 18x18 cm wide). Also got my SLR on a tripod with an 80%...

During my high school days in the late seventies, I was chosen by my physics teacher to be one of a three-member team to study and photograph the full eclipse of the sun. We were to travel from Denver to a high school in Wolf Point, Montana, and conduct our experiments there. I remember well...

NEWS FLASH! Venus has not been devoured by the Moon. Picture taken from south Devon just after 17:30 UTC showing Venus emerging from behind the Moon, with Jupiter in the upper-right corner.

From http://www.spaceweather.com/ Pacific time is 2 hours later than HI so that's between 6:30 and 9 pm. The moon is entirely in the Earth's shadow from 7:01 to 7:51 p.m. pacific time as well.

A Total Lunar Eclipse will occur on Tuesday 2007 AUG 28. This will be during the pre-dawn hours for observers in North America and in the evening for those in the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. Sorry Europeans, but you’ll be shut out. Folks in eastern North America will see the Moon...

Perhaps astrologers will deem this portentous, but the rest of us can simply marvel at the natural spectacle. On the night of 2007 MAR 03/04 (Saturday/Sunday) the Full Moon will enter the Earth’s shadow and become totally eclipsed. The maximum magnitude will be 1.227, meaning the lunar limb...

One reason I did not go to TAM was that it meant changing my work schedule. For some months I've been anticipating the total eclipse visible from the north Caspian on March 29th. We should have around 2 minutes of totality around 11:30 local time. As a good rationalist, I am not praying for a...

Tomorrow (May 13th) around 9:30 eastern, the ISS is going to eclipse Jupiter as seen from the east coast. Info about the eclipse is here, and a list of latitudes and longitudes you can see it from is here. This is a very cool event; don't miss it if you live near the line!
