What they don't tell you about total solar eclipses is the sky darkens right over you, and at the horizon you see a sunrise/sunset effect...only it's in every direction. Truly breathtaking. My capture of a particularly sublime one on April 8, 2024: "Ultimate Shadow".
Last week I missed the one year anniversary of seeing my first total eclipse. This iPhone picture doesn’t measure up at all with what you could see with your naked eye but it was really cool to see.#eclipse #photography #nature

One year ago today I experienced and filmed my first total solar #eclipse in Mexico.
Not sure when/where I'll get to see one again. It was so magical I feel compelled to try.
A little tempted to try for Iceland or Spain next year. Or maybe Gibraltar or North Africa in 2027. I've always wanted to see Morocco or Tunisia, so perhaps one of those would work out well.
And Japan in 2035 feels like a must-do. I have no excuse with 10yrs of time to prep and save for the experience.
Seeing notes in my stream about the #Eclipse one year ago today.
I'm of two minds about "life-changing events." I find that little day-to-day things can be life changing; a brief chat with someone can be a thing you obsess about for years. A random Tuesday observation can stick with you for a lifetime.
But in a more monumental way, going to Montreal, just a couple of hours away, for the Eclipse last year, and seeing it in a park with a few hundred ppl was truly a life-changing experience.
One year ago... #weather is what you get. Forecasted storms were late, cleared just enough just in time to see #SolarEclipse2024 totality in Mesquite TX. Since cumulus clouds grow with daytime solar heating, the partial eclipse leading up to totality apparently cooled the air enough to inhibit them. Not everyone was as lucky that day. Spring is unpredictable - actual cloud cover along the path of totality differed from average expectations. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112237121736018901 #eclipse #astronomy #travel
Eclipse echoes: Study reveals surprising avian vocal patterns during solar eclipse

Il y a 1 an aujourd'hui, nous avons assisté à un événement incroyable.
L'éclipse solaire.
Moment de pure grâce.

I also posted a similar quote online for the 2017 total solar eclipse, which I watched from Madras, Oregon. For viewing a total solar eclipse, it's a big deal to reach the path of totality. From that point, it's mostly up to the weather. But the eclipse will come to you once you're there. #astronomy #eclipse #travel
Marcia quoted me in her article, "I have arrived in the path of totality!" After the interview, we chatted about where we met before. I remembered her from 10 years earlier in 2014 at NASA's CRS-3 launch (SpaceX Falcon 9 & Cargo Dragon to ISS) where I had a "NASA Social" one-time social media pass and she was one of the pro media covering it. NASA TV showed us at adjacent seats asking questions in the post-launch news conference. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112232761322006141 #astronomy #spacegeek #eclipse #travel
One year ago was the day before the April 8, 2024 Total #SolarEclipse2024. I got to Mesquite, Texas (eastern Dallas metro) around mid-day to try to arrive ahead of the crush of traffic as everyone came from everywhere to the path of totality. Even before I found a place to get lunch, I met a news crew preparing to cover the next day's festivities in downtown. I was interviewed by AP aerospace reporter Marcia Dunn. https://spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112231193378607141 #astronomy #spacegeek #eclipse #travel
A year ago tomorrow, a friend and I travelled to the Miramichi to capture the eclipse. This CF-101 Voodoo at the former CFB Chatham provided foreground interest for this composite image. #photography #composite #eclipse #solareclipse #sun #sky #jetfighter #voodoo #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin
Retour en vidéo sur la participation de l'Observatoire au Festival Science Infuze la semaine dernière, avec la très belle observation de l' #éclipse partielle de Soleil.
