  1. "What time is the annular solar eclipse on Feb 17?" by @Spacecom - The #AnnularSolarEclipse Ring of Fire ⭕ will only be visible in Antarctica. Partial #SolarEclipse in SE Africa and southern tip of South America. Partial and annular solar eclipses require eye protection for direct viewing. Otherwise use projection, such as looking for little eclipse shapes in the shadow of a tree.🌳 space.com/stargazing/solar-ecl #eclipse #astronomy #space #spacegeek

  2. There's an #AnnularSolarEclipse today, Feb 17, 2026 UTC. Annular eclipse is like a total #SolarEclipse, except the #Moon is too far out in its orbit to cover the Sun as seen from Earth's surface. So it makes a "ring of fire" effect.⭕ However, it's mostly inaccessible with annularity visible only in Antarctica. So the few people wealthy enough to travel to it probably won't bother for an annular eclipse. Oh well. Partial eclipse in SE Africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_ec #astronomy #space #spacegeek

  3. I wish this was coming back: soon it'll have been one year since I saw the annular solar eclipse in Odessa, Texas. In this picture I took you can see the ring-like sun being projected onto the ground through the leaves. There's nothing else like it...

  4. 25 years ago #OTD an #AnnularSolarEclipse with an extremely thin ring could be observed in Western Australia - and I could easily (with a €40 telephoto lens, no filter whatsoever) photograph the chromosphere and even the inner corona: a quick report from back then can be found at geocities.restorativland.org/C with more pictures at geocities.restorativland.org/C

  5. Need more #BailysBeads from the #AnnularSolarEclipse last month? Hi-res deep videos (which show even the faintest ones) have now been linked from occultations.org/publications/ ("THE ULTIMATE #GRAZE, THE 2023 OCT. 14TH ANNULAR ECLIPSE AT THE S. LIMIT") - enjoy!

  10. More #AnnularSolarEclipse science in the news today! Ham Radios Crowdsourced Ionospheric Science During Eclipse: eos.org/articles/ham-radios-cr - amateur radio operators who study space physics and the upper atmosphere probed the ionosphere’s response to the 2023 annular solar eclipse using shortwave transmissions. And Sonnenfinsternisse und ihre Auswirkungen auf das Wetter: dwd.de/DE/wetter/thema_des_tag by the German Wx Service on weather effects from solar eclipses.

  11. This is the video I made from all the shots I captured with my telescope from the Annular Solar Eclipse on October 14 from my backyard in Costa Rica.

  12. The October 14 #AnnularSolarEclipse seen with the #OwensValley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA) in the Owens Valley #Radio Observatory in California: news.njit.edu/researchers-capt - the Moon appears in front of the solar corona which is very bright at these wavelengths.

  13. While waiting for my #AnnularSolarEclipse videos to process (40GB each!) here are some dark sky pictures I took the same weekend in Kerrvile.
    This is the Sadr Nebula, aka Butterfly, but I'll call it the Amazon Nebula since it is south of the North America nebula, and that dark lane cutting across the center demands a properly majestic name.

  14. Success! A long journey and a difficult but invigorating chase led to this observation of a perfectly concentric annular eclipse unobstructed by clouds.

    I left Orcas Island on Wednesday night and camped at Deception Pass State Park. It was only once I was on the mainland that I made the decision to go using the computer models NAM and GFS cloud fraction and the National Weather Service hourly forecast. I was chasing a hole in the clouds that formed during a passing cold front.

    The first night I camped at DeMoss Springs just south of the Columbia River, started by the DeMoss Bard Singers, a singing group that traveled the Oregon Trail. After stopping in Bend for a salad and kombucha on tap, I made it to Paisley, Oregon along the line of maximum eclipse by 4 PM. Looking at the computer models confirmed that clouds were likely in that area, and that north central Nevada would be catching the cloud hole during the eclipse.

    I had Thai food in Lakeview in southern Oregon (for that second ring of fire) and confirmed that the area near Winnemucca would be a better area for viewing. The poor waitress was overworked with the crowds coming in - she told me I could get eclipse glasses from the library but it closed at 6. I arrived with the library already closed but staff still inside - I pantomimed "glasses" and they brought me four pairs.

    I took Highway 140, one of Nevada's "lonely roads" - with the sky clouded over, no moon, and no artificial lights anywhere if I turned off my car I was in pitch black and silence. A truly meditative drive! This high elevation mountain road took me through Blizzard Gap, serious death by GPS country if you wind up on this road (or worse, off of it) at the wrong time.

    I stopped at a little bar in Denio Junction for gas and one last look at the models. The bartender Amanda, the "Queen of Denio", was like "woah, you've got the serious shit." It's true, I'm a weather nerd. I proceeded under clouds and occasional light rain to a free campsite near Bilk Creek reservoir. All night the sky was completely cloudy and I was thinking things like "The real eclipse was the friends we made along the way" and "The true eclipse is within you, grasshopper..."

    I woke up to the sky cloudy but a few promising gaps. My neighbors were hunters... I offered them eclipse glasses but they said they were okay. Then, once it started, they ATVed over to me and said "could we get those eclipse glasses after all?"

    I was trying to get the eclipse reflected in the reservoir, which (unusually for windy Nevada) was a perfectly calm mirror. After bushwhacking through sagebrush and then willows, I found the shore completely filled with burr plants. Back to the Jeep, and clouds were beginning to cover the sun. I made an emergency relocation back to the main road as annularity approached, figuring I could do a quicker relocation along the road, if needed. It wasn't needed. I observed the annular eclipse right along the center line at 41°35'20.4" N, 118°26'16.8" W and met a really cool fellow who just happened to be planning a trip to Asia including Gokyo Ri where I went trekking not long after the 2018 eclipse.

    Now back in Denio Junction having lunch and looking at the images I got.

  15. Another nice video of Baily's Beads galore and a bit of chromosphere from the #AnnularSolarEclipse has come in - or rather a pair of videos, one filtered, one not, shown next to each other: youtube.com/watch?v=Eyrzlg4ncS (from the same source as the evanzucker.smugmug.com/Photos- series of images).

  16. And another great video of the #AnnularSolarEclipse, the full ring phase with beads-rich contacts from Costa Rica: youtube.com/watch?v=HZHLxhRqG3 - that country was only grazed by the annularity corridor so I'm a bit surprised for how long the ring was closed there.

  17. “One Ring to rule them all,
    One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all
    and in the darkness bind them”

  18. Annular eclipse as seen from UNM in Albuquerque, NM, this morning. You can see sunspots in the first photo. It was very exciting getting to the ring of fire moment, and everybody applauded and cheered, but after the climax finished, everybody got bored and skedaddled. I swear I didn't just Photoshop a white circle onto a black background for that last shot.

  19. The best came last - in youtube.com/watch?v=SSdJ9jELHO at 5 hours and 28 minutes: at the 3rd contact of the #AnnularSolarEclipse over Canaã dos Carajás in Brazil a dynamic show of Baily's Beads when the ring broke up, seen best here in all of the webcasts. See skyweek.wordpress.com/2023/10/ for more timesteps.

  20. The Annular Solar Eclipse this morning was cool to watch here in Tucson, AZ USA, but it did reduce our production of electricity from our solar panels! Note the peak of the Eclipse at 9:30am MST is perfectly shown by the dip to 828 Watts.

  21. Since we are posting images from the solar eclipse, here is one from the eclipse 1995.
