Utilized with eclipses, the Metonic Cycle can also be employed to determine astronomy constants.
Of course longer periods (it is not a true cycle) offer greater precision.
"... accurate integer equation of lunar synodic with the apogee-perigee period ensures greater interval constancy of eclipse observations."

A partir de ahora vamos a hablar mucho de #eclipses. Por eso @javierarmentia recuerda que informar es un servicio público y que hay que asumir "que el público es curioso, no ingenuo" y hay que contar "sin infantilizar ni asustar"

"Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit."

Facts about #TerahertzRadiation (1/2)

- By Terahertz Radiation we understand radio waves in the range from about 100 to 1000 THz.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause an #inflammatory reaction on the skin which in some cases can lead to skin #cancer.

- Excessive exposure to Terahertz Radiation can cause permanent eye damage and blindness. It happens frequently around #solar #eclipses.

- Terahertz Radiation is primarily created in nuclear #fusion reactors. Most of us live within 8 minutes of a Terahertz Radiation emitting reactor.

- The surface of such a Terahertz Radiation emitting #reactor is actually so hot that your whole body would burn up instantly if you were to touch it.

- Due to the immense danger it poses to humans and the environment, the #European Union and the state of #California have actually banned the sale of a, sadly, commonly deployed device emitting Terahertz Radiation.

- Pulsed Terahertz Radiation is a common cause of #headaches in humans and animals, and can in some causes even lead to grand mal #seizures.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause #wildfires

- The Ancient #Greek are said to have already used Terahertz Radiation to fight off their enemies.

Get ready to see a total lunar eclipse (or maybe not)
The first total lunar eclipse since 2022 will turn the full moon an eerie shade of red on the night of March 13-14 --- but your chances of seeing it with your own eyes will depend on where you are.

North Americans should have great seats for the eclipse this time around. The key phases of the show,

#USAtoday: Will you see the Total Lunar Eclipse this month? Here's when it is & how to watch.
❛❛ The upcoming #TotalLunarEclipse in March [is] unlike the total #solar eclipse in April 2024 ❜❜

#KronoMoon: the Total Lunar Eclipse is on Friday of next week. It is also the #FullMoon, the #WormMoon, and of course the #KrononautMoon — the night for making contact with #TimeTravelers. More about #eclipses on our website.

Passages: Reflections on 2024
All years are passages between what was and what is yet to come. Usually, the transitions are subtle and incremental, hardly noticeable. But certain events signal a major crossing into something new. 2024 was one of those times, a bridge between distinct phases of my life. This essay reflects on the year with selected photos that I made in 2024 (and one from an earlier year).

The Celebration (and Experimentation and Observation) of the #KrononautMoon invites #TimeTravelers to show up or send a #signal to #Earth on the #TotalLunarEclipse (#TLE). Ancient #Babylonian texts may be accurate in some deadly #omen cases, but it's important to differentiate that there are three major classes of #Lunar #Eclipses, of which "total" is only one — occuring on an apparently eccentric (to us) schedule of approx once per year, next up on 14 Mar 2025.

“A total solar eclipse captivated North America in April of 2024. Millions of people watched as daylight plunged into darkness. A luminous, almost otherworldly ring replaced the familiar view of the Sun. Totality had arrived. But just how common is such an experience? How frequently do total solar eclipses occur, and are there places on Earth more prone to eclipses than others?...”

[History of #eclipses (3/3)] From now on, there's no need to wait for the next total #Sun #eclipse and to travel the globe to observe it: the development, on the ground and in space, of #coronography - a technique invented in 1931 by Bernard Lyot - makes it possible to reproduce this celestial phenomenon.

ESA is currently developing the #Proba-3 mission, which will be capable of generating solar eclipses on the fly from space: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Proba_Missions/ESA_s_solar_eclipse_maker_Proba-3

Looking forward to the future! 😋

[Histoire d'#éclipses (3/3)] Inutile désormais d'attendre la prochaine #éclipse totale de #Soleil et de sillonner la planète pour l'observer : le développement, au sol et dans l'espace, de la #coronographie - une technique inventée en 1931 par Bernard Lyot - permet de reproduire ce phénomène céleste.

L'ESA développe actuellement la mission #Proba-3, qui sera capable de générer des éclipses solaires à la volée depuis l'espace : https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Proba_Missions/ESA_s_solar_eclipse_maker_Proba-3

Vivement l'avenir ! 😋

#Eclipses aren’t usually #political. Enter: #ChristianNationalist #MarjorieTaylorGreene.

The #Georgia #congresswoman sees Monday's #eclipse and Friday's #earthquake in #NewYork as a sign to "#repent." How #quaint.

We’re just talking about three things for the next several days: east coast #earthquakes, #eclipses and how, somehow, Caitlin Clark and company causes both of them.
