  1. The moon is moving away from Earth at 3.8 centimetres per year — which means the total solar eclipses humans alive today get to see are something no future civilisation will ever witness

    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."

  6. ScienceDaily: Total solar eclipse led to seismic quiet for cities within its path. “As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during […]

  8. Detailed data and official astronomical information for each of the three upcoming solar eclipses (2026, 2027, and 2028) combined in a viewer with an exaggerated relief layer to see if you, too, will be able to see them from home #eclipses

  13. A quick guide to the total lunar eclipse — and the weather
    Tonight’s full moon will turn into a red moon during the last total lunar eclipse we’ll be able to see for the next two years — but whether we’ll truly be able to see it with our own eyes depends on the weather. And that’s an iffy proposition for Pacific Northwest skywatchers.

    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"
